In this age of craft distillers and high-end whiskey bars, being known as a “rectifier” is not something most whiskey brands aspire to. Otherwise known as non-distilling producers, rectifiers have a long history in Kentucky and elsewhere of buying other people’s whiskies and blending it – or, at times, mixing it with neutral-grain spirits, flavors or colors – to achieve a flavor profile all their own before putting it out on the market.
