Sadly, aged Scotch Whisky supplies are not unlimited. As the distilleries need to be very careful in managing their stocks, there is whole new trend you can find on the shelves: bottles without an age statement (NAS).
According to a recent Rabobank report, inventories of malt whisky aged over nine years fell more than 25% between 2007-12.While producers are trying hard to rebuild stock of older whisky, they took the advice to control supply more tightly and avoid future peaks and troughs in demand.
