artisanal wiskey

[globetrotter]

anybody try this or drink it?

Frankly, I was really sceptical about it - I have really been convinced that wisky was simply something that the slightly larger places did a lot better than a guy could do in his garage. I didn't think that was the case with white liquors, but with wiskey I was convinced. also, I have tried japanese whiskey and didn't like it, so I thought that buying teh right ingredients and being careful wasn't enough - you needed decades of skills, the right water maybe, what ever.

anyway, I have a friend who has a small distrillary, and he has had me try a few types of artisanal whiskeys that are great. really really good. probrably as nice as any scotch I have had (I am not a big fan of scotch) but also probrably as good as almost any bourbon I have tried. I am actually pretty excited to have this opened up to me, and it was totally unexpected.

here is one brand

I think you managed to spell the word five different ways in one post. Congrats!

I've been on an artisinal whiskey kick lately and have been drinking a lot of it. Tuthilltown (Husdon), Clear Creek (McCarthy's), Charbay and House Spirits have created some of the best products that I've tried so far.
