Even if it is just to bottle one barrel of 10 y/o stuff down the line or to mix in with the younger stuff, this seems like a very short-sighted policy to me.

Yeah, but there are enough people that will buy it because it is small and to their thinking that is better than the "big guys"
With the market being so big today a product doesn't have to be good, all they need is a good image to rake in a small percent that ultimatley is a large pocketfull to them.

Something I forgot to mention. I was shocked to learn that, according to the young guy, they are not holding ANY of the rye back for longer aging but will start doing that once they expand, whenever that is. Even if it is just to bottle one barrel of 10 y/o stuff down the line or to mix in with the younger stuff, this seems like a very short-sighted policy to me.

From my visits, it didn't look like they were suffering any capacity restraints that would keep them from doing this.

I received notification this week that they have opened a tasting room in Leland, if anyone is planning on heading up there.
