Can you make whisky in 30 days? Meet the duo who say they can (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When an email from fledgling distillery Everstill Spirits arrived in my inbox claiming it had achieved the impossible, my curiosity – and scepticism – was piqued. Using proprietary technology “built to challenge traditional conventions around spirit ageing”, it said it had achieved the depth and character of aged whisky, “matured in just 30 days”.
