I think it's good, but they jack the prices up...

There are a couple routes young distilleries can go while waiting for their stocks to mature- bottling other products, which is the route that High West and Smooth Ambler went. Or, releasing stuff that is young and really not that great (Hudson Baby Bourbon). Or, messing with all sorts of gimmicks to try to accelerate the aging process (staves, pressure, small barrels).... In my mind whiskey is a product that needs the requisite time to mature...

Have you tried Breckenridge Distillery? Had it while in Denver and it's one of my farovirtes. I was surprised to read that it's only aged 2-3 years.
