590 - It's Tenacity That Wins with Sid Dilawri of Filibuster Bourbon
So what happens when a retail guy from D.C. decides he’s going to jump into the whiskey business? We're sitting down with Sid Dilawri, Founder and CEO of Filibuster Distilling, to talk about his journey. After moving from Delhi to the U.S. in 2007, Sid got his start working at a local liquor store where he discovered orange flavored vodka. He wasn't much of a drinker at the time. But In 2010, his family bought a struggling D.C. liquor store and Sid helped turn it around growing annual sales from under $400K to over $1.2 million simply by changing up the product mix and introducing customers to great bourbon. After an eye-opening trip to Four Roses to select his very first single-barrel, he worked towards his new idea. Sid launched Filibuster using sourced barrels but eventually transition to a full-scale distilling operation in Virginia, including figuring out how to run a column still himself. With lots of tenacity, Sid gives us an honest look at building a legacy brand for his kids and crafting a true everyday pour. Show Notes: Sid Dilawri shares his journey moving from Delhi to the U.S. in 2007 and learning the retail ropes on the liquor store floor. How turning around a struggling D.C. shop in 2010 by pushing bourbon sparked his passion for the industry. The Four Roses barrel pick that convinced Sid to leave retail and launch Filibuster. Starting with MGP sourced juice, early French oak finishes, and navigating distributor portfolios when craft bourbon was just taking off. Transitioning to distilling in Virginia, installing a column still, and teaching himself how to run the equipment when his team walked out. The ins and outs of local grain sourcing, fermentation practices, and managing over 6,200 aging barrels. Why patience, product quality, and smart pricing matter when building a legacy brand for the next generation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

589 - Pappy Raised Prices Anyway and Is Allocation Leaving Retail? on Bourbon Community Roundtable #124
Van Winkle announced the 2026 collection on September 11 with price increases. This lands in a year of a 16-million-barrel glut, craft sales down a third straight year, a distributor in liquidation, and a softening mid-tier secondary. Back on BCR #42 in 2020 this panel specifically praised Sazerac for not pricing Pappy at what the market would bear. Six years later they moved the number up in a down market. Was the restraint we praised always temporary? Look at October’s release calendar. Woodford’s 30th anniversary bundle is distillery-only at $225. New Riff’s six-year wheated went to whiskey club members with distillery pickup only. Pursuit’s own XS Double Oak to P. Club members before anyone else. Is thi the beginning of a much larger shift where allocation migrating out of retail? Show Notes: What does the Van Winkle price increase mean for demand Has Pappy’s appeal changed among bourbon enthusiasts Who benefits more from the Van Winkle–Sazerac partnership Could Pappy be released through the Buffalo Trace gift shop Are limited releases shifting from retailers to distilleries and clubs How can brands balance direct sales with retail distribution Could regional and online releases provide other ways to reach buyers Learn more about your ad choices.
