craft bourbon
Small-batch American spirit
Craft bourbon is bourbon whiskey produced by small, independent distilleries rather than major commercial producers.
The term suggests artisanal methods, limited batches, and distinctive character: We sampled several craft bourbons from Kentucky micro-distilleries.
Like craft beer, the label implies authenticity and care, though it has no legal definition and is sometimes applied loosely for marketing appeal.
