Why pay double or triple that price for a spirit that is "close" to as good? It's silly.<br /><br />This, beyond even the quality of the finished whiskey, is what drives me crazy. <br /><br />I still say we need a "young whiskey" category. There are nuances to younger whiskey that are plusses. You can tend to really taste the grain that went into them more. The oak influence *can* be less as well if you're not a big fan of oakier whiskeys. So there are pluses, but that's thrown out the window at twice the price.<br /><br />Good post.<br /><br />-JasonJason Pylehttp://sourmashmanifesto.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-77850231040766590692010-12-27T22:22:06.533-06:002010-12-27T22:22:06.533-06:00Thanks for sharing, I heard about this article but...Thanks for sharing, I heard about this article but forgot about it due to Christmas.<br />I tend to always agree with you Chuck, that you are right beer is easier to make and bring to market.<br />Whiskies on the other hand have to go through their maturation process which means time and environment, you will never cheat mother nature.dghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098124267725246080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-42770391307446174212010-12-27T18:57:40.430-06:002010-12-27T18:57:40.430-06:00Anyone who thinks smaller is automatically for bee...Anyone who thinks smaller is automatically for beer hasn't had any of Sierra Nevada's products. They are one of the top five largest brewers in the country.<br /><br />I hope these microdistilleries are holding back enough inventory to sell it with proper aging. They are selling what they make for so much now, though, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the aged stuff when it is finally bottled.Doctor Tarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02722106527742038069noreply@blogger.com
