Werni, like most craft distillers, started off making only vodka, a liquor that takes just a few days to make and bottle before heading out the door to customers' gimlet glasses. But then he began branching into other spirits and is now making both bourbon and rye whiskey. Those spirits must be aged for two years in special wooden casks.

When I was a kid I remember that my grandmother would drink Bourbon on the rocks each evening saying her doctor told her it was good for her heart. She lived into her 90's so I think it worked.
I don't drink beer or wine anymore because they can sometimes trigger a migraine headache for me. But I have found that I don't seem to have any headache issues with Brandy. I just drank the last of my bottle of Courvoisier. (It took me a few years but I am pretty sure I drank the entire thing!)
I would love to try a handbrewed US bourbon. Sounds delicious.
Kind of makes me laugh that they used to just call it moonshine when people made little batches of booze.
Alcohol is a disinfectant, right - so it should work to treat acne.
