Artisanal distilling refers to the small-scale production of spirits, such as whiskey, gin, or vodka, using traditional methods. Distillers often focus on quality over quantity, emphasizing craftsmanship and unique flavors. This process typically involves using locally sourced ingredients and small-batch techniques, allowing for greater control over the final product. Many artisanal distilleries prioritize sustainability and community engagement, often collaborating with local farmers and businesses. The rise of craft spirits has led to a growing interest in mixology and the appreciation of unique, handcrafted beverages, contributing to the overall culture of fine drinking.
