Wouldnt it be great to make your favourite commercial whiskey, whisky and rums at home? To clone your favourite bottle of spirits? The beer guys talk about this all the time.

This is a problem I have been thinking about for a long time. Today I want to share my thoughts on how we can work towards cloning commercial spirits at home.
