Let's Not Panic


Clay Risen of the Atlantic Monthly has an article this month with the wordy and alarmist title of, "For American Distillers a Whiskey Crisis Looms on the Horizon" warning of an impending disaster if the mostly small distillers keep trying to find a way to age whiskey faster (meaning cheaper). Personally I think that the entire point of small distillers is to experiment. The world doesn't need another whiskey that tastes like Jim Beam after all we already have Jack Daniel's for that (I kid).
