Small-batch whiskey refers to a type of whiskey produced in limited quantities, typically by craft distilleries. This method allows for greater attention to detail and quality, as each batch is often made using traditional techniques and high-quality ingredients. The specific number of bottles produced can vary, but it usually ranges from a few dozen to a few hundred. The small-batch process often results in unique flavors and characteristics, as distillers can experiment with different grains, aging methods, and barrel types. This approach contrasts with mass-produced whiskeys, which prioritize consistency and scale over individuality. Small-batch whiskeys are often sought after by enthusiasts for their distinct profiles and craftsmanship.
