589 - Pappy Raised Prices Anyway and Is Allocation Leaving Retail? on Bourbon Community Roundtable #124
Van Winkle announced the 2026 collection on September 11 with price increases. This lands in a year of a 16-million-barrel glut, craft sales down a third straight year, a distributor in liquidation, and a softening mid-tier secondary. Back on BCR #42 in 2020 this panel specifically praised Sazerac for not pricing Pappy at what the market would bear. Six years later they moved the number up in a down market. Was the restraint we praised always temporary? Look at October’s release calendar. Woodford’s 30th anniversary bundle is distillery-only at $225. New Riff’s six-year wheated went to whiskey club members with distillery pickup only. Pursuit’s own XS Double Oak to P. Club members before anyone else. Is thi the beginning of a much larger shift where allocation migrating out of retail? Show Notes: What does the Van Winkle price increase mean for demand Has Pappy’s appeal changed among bourbon enthusiasts Who benefits more from the Van Winkle–Sazerac partnership Could Pappy be released through the Buffalo Trace gift shop Are limited releases shifting from retailers to distilleries and clubs How can brands balance direct sales with retail distribution Could regional and online releases provide other ways to reach buyers Learn more about your ad choices.

588 - Everyone Wants to Pick A Shortbarrel with Clinton Dugan and Manny
Some stories are as old as time. A few friends get together, pick a few barrels, then all of a sudden it turns into full blown business. It kind of sounds familiar but I'm not talking about Pursuit, I'm talking about Shortbarrel. In this episode Clinton Dugan and Manny, co-founders at Shortbarrel talk about starting their company after selecting hundreds of barrels across the country. Clinton leveraged his marketing background and self-taught blending skills to focus on the consumer market rather than personal ego. They talk about how warehouse microclimates, high heat, and Kelvin Cooperage barrels shape core lineups like their toasted bourbon, rye, four-grain, Bee's Knees and Sapsquatch expressions. At the very end we talk about industry collaborations like our Found Footage that has now been sold out to our clubs plus scaling into major hubs like Atlanta airport tasting bars, and why staying authentic keeps Shortbarrel ahead of the curve. Show Notes: The team sits down with Short Barrel co-founder Clinton and sales head Manny to discuss the brand's evolution from barrel picks to a full-scale whiskey company. Clinton shares how a marketing background and self-funded growth strategy helped shape Short Barrel's methodical distribution expansion. The team explores core product development, warehouse aging impacts, Kelvin Cooperage barrels, and blends designed specifically for consumer palates. The conversation details the creation of the Bee's Knees honey-finished series and the team's approach to using honey as a core flavor ingredient. Clinton and Manny discuss clear spirits offerings, airport tasting bar expansions, and their collaborative release with Pursuit Spirits. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

587 - Glass Design Meets Actual Production with Andrés Hernandez of Fusion Glass and Chad Micheal of Chad Michael Studio
How many times have you reached for a bottle on the shelf simply because the glass looked incredible or the label caught your eye? At Pursuit Spirits, we talk endlessly about what goes inside the barrel, but the multi-million dollar engineering and design process that gets that liquid onto the shelf is an entire science of its own. Today, we’re sitting down with Andrés Hernandez of Fusion Glass Mexico and Chad Michael of Chad Michael Studio to talk about custom bottles from engineering, designed, and evenutally going to market. Andrés has the factor that specializes in 100% PCR (post-consumer recycled) glass that gives their glass a certain rustic appeal. But that process has to managing extreme temperatures, color formulation, and structural tolerances from the designer. That's where Chad comes in. He's the creative guy that can turn an idea on the back of a napkin into a bottle that looks like artwork. He spends his time understanding the brand DNA and translating that into one of a kind package design. This is an angle of the show we've never taken before and I'm sure a lot of bourbon geeks will appreciate everything that goes into the bottle you pick up off the shelf but if you're a whiskey producer looking into the custom space for something your brand can call your own, this episode is the complete package... see what I did there? Show Notes: How Fusion Glass Mexico approaches sustainable glass manufacturing and 100% PCR recycled glass The step-by-step process of collecting, crushing, washing, and remaking recycled glass How high-temperature glass forming impacts bottle symmetry, wall thickness, and weight Chad Michael’s journey from agency design work to founding Chad Michael Studio Using brand story questionnaires to define brand personality before designing packaging Stock glass vs. bespoke custom molds: balancing cost, MOQs, and shelf presence When and why growing brands should transition away from stock bottles Technical limits of glass production: machine compatibility, GPI standards, and impact testing The future of whiskey packaging design: balancing creative storytelling with logical, cost-effective engineering Learn more about your ad choices.
