You can blame the Celtic heritage if you must, but storytellers in the South have created an art that surpasses mere blarney or a touch of the poet. Just try to decipher the truth from the myth when researching American whiskey distilleries and you will know what I mean. Each bourbon or rye is wrapped in legend and shrouded in mystery. That's part of the fun. The Knob Creek dry spell may very fall into this category. I do not doubt that there was no KC to bottle for a bit, but I do not know anyone who has had a hard time finding it at bars or on store shelves. Maybe it's because I'm in NYC and spend the rest of my time either in Georgia or Chicago (Chi-town being a BIG whiskey town). Maybe now is when we will feel the effect as the last of the stock is sold and we wait for new bottles to reach the shelves. I'd really like to know if anyone has felt the effect.
