30-day, 90-day and 1-year change columns switch on automatically as weekly price history builds up. Tracking started November 13, 2026; the first 30-day readings land around December 11.
How these prices work
Asking price is the current price of an in-stock bottle on the public online catalog of Cask Cartel or Wooden Cork on the as-of date. Each row is one listing. Pre-orders, bundles, sets and multi-bottle lots are left out, and only bottles priced at $200 or more are included.
Style (bourbon, rye, single malt Scotch, Japanese and so on) comes from the retailer's tags or the listing title. Brand is read from the title or the retailer's vendor field.
30-day and 90-day change compare this week's price with our own stored price for the same row from that far back. They stay hidden until that history exists; we never back-fill or estimate them. Tracking began November 13, 2026.
Retail asking prices for allocated bottles often sit well above the distiller's suggested price and above secondary-market auction results. Fill level, box and condition matter for older bottles.
