You seem to believe sourcing is inherently bad. That would be incorrect. There is nothing wrong with sourcing barrels. If Garrison had followed that route while aging his own, and releasing tasty sources barrels in the meantime; then I’d have nothing against them. They’d be just like a whole bunch of others who have sourced at the start, recent examples being High West, Smooth Ambler and Whistlepig (not going to divert this into what Whistlepig is really sourcing). Tasty bourbon is tasty bourbon. What I had from Garrison early on, like many many others, turned me off the brand. And to bring this full circle, four years ago I attended a seminar at Tales regarding sourced bourbon and transparency in labeling. The Smooth Ambler distiller was on the panel. Dan Garrison was in the audience. I’ll never forget the awkward feeling in the conference room when during the Q&A Garrison stood up and offered to sell the Smooth Ambler guy as many barrels as he needed if MGP couldn’t cover his needs.
