While your comment is technically correct, I think you&#x27;re discounting the huge amount of value added by barrel selection and blending. I agree companies should probably be more transparent about it (maybe call it &quot;independent bottling&quot;, like in the Scotch world). But I would (and do) pay a lot more for someone to go pick out a handful of barrels of various ages from MGP&#x27;s stocks to target a particular flavor profile, then to get a blend of everything someone&#x27;s dinky still produced after three years (because that&#x27;s all they&#x27;ve got, so they have to sell it all).
