That guy is correct, "It's a patient enterprise, in which whiskey is made from a few basic ingredients, then left to age for years in wooden barrels stored in rustic rack houses . . . it's a process that seems very craft".

The main difference is the big guys can take their time and age the whisky until it's fully mature.
