Why Some Distillers Are Selling Whiskey Straight Off the Still
""We're a new distiller - we don't have the luxury of waiting to know if our whisky is going to be great. It has to be great from the outset.""
""The general public doesn't have a clue what new make spirit is. In short, new make is the distilled liquid that goes into casks for maturation.""
""This is more of an opportunity for the many new distilleries to show their craft now and also bring in some revenue while their whisky is maturing.""
Witchmark, a new distillery founded by Eddie Large, aims for high-quality whisky from the outset. They offer a clear liquid called Single Origin New Make Spirit at 60% ABV. New make spirit is the unaged distilled liquid that matures into whisky. Historically, it was consumed locally, but now distilleries are bottling it for enthusiasts. Witchmark's limited release of 300 bottles showcases the craft of new distilleries and provides revenue while whisky matures, highlighting the unique character of new make spirit.
