Opinion: “Is This [Whiskey] Worth $40?”

Editor’s Note: A column was published on Friday, February 28th using this photo of Steeple Ridge Bourbon. This column was originally republished with permission of its author. Based upon subsequent conversations with the distillery in question (Lonely Oak Distillery) and due diligence by our editorial staff around the subject matter as relates to sourcing versus distilling their own whiskey and other misrepresentations, (the distillery does, as a matter of fact, do everything themselves as a farm distillery, including “tilling the soil, planting the seed, grain selection, distillation, maturation, and finally, bottling”), we’ve chosen to pull this article. The Whiskey Wash apologizes for the error.
