I'd regard that with the same esteem as one of the factory-made whiskeys. Technically true, but violates the spirit of the spirit.
- tptacek 8y agoThe best whiskeys in the world are made by the largest commercial firms; ironically, it's the "artisanal" indie stuff that's most likely sourced from huge industrial concerns like MGPI --- and even MGPI whiskey has merits (you just shouldn't pay extra for it).
- DennisP 8y agoThat's true in the sense that many well-known Scottish distilleries are owned by some large corporation, but some of those distilleries make their whisky the same way they did a hundred years ago. The American whiskey scene is much as you describe though. The indie scene is fairly new, and they have to do something while they're waiting for the barrels to age. But some are producing their own offbeat whiskeys; for example, Balcones makes one from blue corn, and another with malt smoked by mesquite.
