Oh, yeah. I hardly drink at home these days, but when I did, my shelf staples were things like Old Grand Dad 114 and Wild Turkey 101. Local can be very hit-or-miss, though. Opening a distillery was a very trendy thing to do for a while after the craft beer market got saturated, and I feel like there were a lot of distilleries selling really sub-par young product because they realized they would run out of money if they waited for it to age properly. For the most part, though, I agree, especially now that it's been long enough for some solid local contenders to get their feet under them.

But it was also less than 50% of the normal whiskey they sell. I got some just to try it. It is not mellow at all, but it is interesting to try it, and it mixes in many drinks just fine and makes them different.
