![]() This year, while reporting a story about Facebook’s illegal black market whiskey selling groups, I watched an entire case of it sell in less than two minutes, at $150 a pop - a drinker’s bliss, vanishing in a puff of cash and smoke. ![]() Technically, today it retails for around $30, but good luck finding it on a liquor store shelf. In 2019 it was $238, according to the site’s data. In 2014, the average price of Weller 12’s on the legal market was $47. ![]() This rise in interest has had consequences on supply. In 2017, it topped the list of sought-after spirits on the massive booze search tool Wine-Searcher - and in 2019 it was a close second to Blanton’s. Demand for this delicious wheated bourbon has driven the liquid underground. These days, it’s about as hard to find as Jack’s Lounge or Joy Perrine.
