Historians & Distillery Leaders on Whiskey Industry Upheaval - Bourbon Plus Magazine

Hey LinkedIn, I’m working on a feature for Bourbon Plus Magazine exploring the recent boom, subsequent reckoning, and potential rebirth of the whiskey/bourbon industry. I’m seeking commentary from: --Historians who can speak about previous whisky boom-bust cycles (Prohibition; Whiskey Loch, etc.) --Distillery owners and senior leaders navigating today’s challenges and exploring new directions --Industry experts who track market trends in bourbon and whiskey --Representatives from distilleries navigating today’s challenges and exploring new directions Topics I’m interested in discussing include: --Assessment of the current state of the bourbon market: boom, correction, or something bigger --Factors driving recent distillery bankruptcies and restructuring, including overexpansion and debt --Historical parallels, especially lessons from past spirits industry downturns like the 1980s “Whisky Loch” --Changing consumer behaviors and the impact of non-alcoholic and alternative beverages --Innovation and adaptation efforts within the industry—new products, marketing, and strategies --Investment opportunities and risks related to distressed assets and collectible bottles --Outlook on the industry’s future, including potential regulatory changes If you or someone you recommend would be open to a brief interview or to provide commentary, I’d love to talk. #sourcerequest #bourbon #whiskey #bylines #article #helpareporter #journorequest #pressopportunity
