American made whiskey. We all know what that means, but celebrating the craft behind it is something we sometimes take for granted as we open a bottle of our favorite bourbon and enjoy a glass. A lot of hard work and careful thought likely went into that fine spirit you are tasting, and one way you can honor that made in the USA whiskey in front of you is by voting for your favorite distillery in the Martha Stewart American Made awards for 2014.
You get six votes per day through October 13 to help name the Martha Stewart Audience Choice Award winner. The list of craft whiskey maker finalists is a good cross section of some of the best out there today. Below are the finalists to take note of, including a small description of each as mentioned on the Martha Stewart website. Good luck to each and every one!
