craft whiskey

Small-batch distilled spirit

Craft whiskey is whiskey produced by small, independent distilleries rather than large commercial operations.

The term suggests artisanal methods, small-batch production, and distinctive character: a flight of craft whiskeys from local distilleries.

Like craft beer, the label implies authenticity and care, though definitions vary and marketing sometimes stretches the term.
