In 2014, when Aubrey Bailey left her job at the world-famous French Laundry restaurant to open a bar in downtown Napa, expectations were low. “Everyone told me, ‘You’ll be back in six months,’” she says, laughing. Instead, Bailey’s Cadet Wine + Beer Bar played a major role in the revitalization of Napa’s formerly sleepy downtown.

The legacy distillers will always be what they are, but America is at the point where a significant wave of craft distillers are host to whiskey at 5 years and older.

Expensive young whiskey still exists in the craft sector, but now we also have offerings such as Jeptha Creed Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon 6 Years Old.

Though the market is booming, it’s also becoming increasingly saturated with brand after brand debuting their own RTDs — making it difficult to compete.
