Bourbon Secondary 101: The Underground Economy of Rare Whiskey | Ep. 113

Welcome to Arsenic Culture. This Heavy Pour dives deep into the elusive, “allegedly illegal” world of the bourbon secondary market. From Facebook secret groups and coded lingo to John Wick status bottles and $2,000 price tags, this episode exposes how rare bourbon gets bought, sold, and—maybe—smuggled in the modern age.

We talk insider etiquette, scam red flags, Buffalo Trace’s crackdown, and how collectible bottles like Pappy and Blanton’s turned into high-stakes currency.
