i have noticed that has well, not much at the mom and pop shops, but the big boy stores like binnys and the liquor warehouse they are carrying more and more of the single barrel and small batch bourbons, i dont think it has much to do with the stores but i feel the distillers are starting to see what we like and we are willing to pay a little more for what we believe to be better quality and a more enjoyable drinking experience..
i myself have been on the look out for bourbons that are barrel strength, uncut and un-filtered, i love the bookers and the russels reserve, i have been trying to find elijah craig barrel strength have not had any luck yet..
also Ardbeg Uigeadail cask strength scotch whiskey is another i plan on picking up..i am surprised no one yet has mentioned mitches small batch bourbon..another good bourbon thats not well knowin but for $29 a bottle a great value..they also make a small batch rye that i have yet to try
