At Laws, we have a unique approach to the concept of a “Master Distiller.” Unlike traditional distilleries where one person holds the title and is seen as the sole expert, we believe that the art of crafting our whiskey is a collaborative effort that involves the talents, smarts, quirks, and obsessive passion of every Laws co-worker. We consider ourselves a Village, where every member plays a crucial role in the creation of our exceptional spirits.
The idea of a Master Distiller often brings to mind an image of a solitary figure, tirelessly working their magic behind closed doors. But at Laws, we embrace a different philosophy. We believe that the power of teamwork and the collective knowledge of our Village are what truly sets us apart.
In our Village, everyone has a unique contribution to make. From the farmers who grow the grains we use, to the brewers who carefully ferment the mash, to the distillers who expertly run our stills, to the barrel team who ages our whiskey to perfection, each member of our Village brings their own expertise and passion to the table.
Our approach to whiskey making is not just about following a set recipe or process. It's about understanding the nuances of each grain, the science behind fermentation, the art of distillation, and the influence of aging in barrels. And it's about constantly learning, experimenting, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
One of the reasons we don't have a designated Master Distiller is because we believe that the role requires a diverse set of skills and experiences. Each member of our Village has their own unique background and expertise, whether it's in brewing, chemistry, sensory analysis, or something entirely different. By harnessing the collective knowledge and passion of our team, we are able to create whiskeys that are truly exceptional.
Our Village is a tight-knit community, where we constantly collaborate, share ideas, and problem-solve together. We believe that the best ideas come from open and honest discussions, where everyone's input is valued. This approach allows us to constantly innovate and improve, ensuring that each bottle of Laws whiskey is a testament to our shared passion and dedication.
So, while we don't have a single Master Distiller at Laws, we believe that our Village as a whole embodies the spirit of craftsmanship and expertise that is associated with that title. Each member of our team plays a vital role in the creation of our whiskey, and it is through our collective efforts that we are able to produce spirits that are truly exceptional.
