What you’ve basically just imagined is Victory Gin.
But that is not how most spirit is made. Even terrible gin typically re-distills with aromatics, as does flavored vodka. But anything aged very much involves “stock piling” by it’s very nature. And UK regs require 3 years minimum for Whisky, via Scotland they have some of the largest and oldest cellars in the world. With massive amounts of barrelled whisky pending.
Even unaged spirit and neutral grain spirit. There tends to be quite a lot in storage/process. Particularly from the sorts of very large, global brands the UK is home to.
So there is already very much a reserve. And what you’re thinking would pretty much be rocket surgery.
Cause you’d be both completely reinventing the way spirit is produced. And distributing small stills, cellar operations and bottling plants. To avoid trucking.
Never mind most of the stills are made in Europe. Most of the bottles are too. The flavorings. And you’re now shipping all that ancillary stuff to a thousand locations instead of a few. Packaging, equipment, components. Which is not going avoid or reduce trucking at all.
