Last Sunday, the Associated Press released a story about the Dickel No. 8 shortage.
What's interesting is that they have introduced a "Cascade Hollow Recipe" three year old substitute in an almost identical package. Apparently they intend to have it both ways, be upfront to people who are paying attention while slipping one past the people who aren't.
The misleading part of the whole exercise is that there is no such thing as Dickel No. 8. There is an inventory of Dickel whiskey, sold in different expressions, yet there is no shortage of the more expensive No. 12 and Barrel Select.
