As a deceased acquaintance from Indiana explained it, (and I paraphrase here),

“Making spirits is a craft. You have to pay for that.

Even the best industrial grade whiskey doesn’t compare to craft made. If only for the sweat and effort of the maker.”

Kind of like handmade best guns.

Consume what you like, and what you can afford.

If you have any taste buds, corn liquor is sweet. It tastes like corn.

Myself, I don’t care for the super syrupy premium Bourbons.
I like the cutesy caps that Blanton’s uses.

We’ve enjoyed a few bottles of Bulleit on our bird hunts, and everyone seems to enjoy it. Circumstances definitely apply.

Out there doing it best I can.
