Setting up small scale breweries is easy, relatively speaking, so trying product from small time operations and supporting them is doable. Setting up distilleries is much harder since the regulations around that are more restrictive and there’s also the fact that they have to age their product so that’s several years of burning money with no return. Small distilleries do exist but they just aren’t as common, and seems that larger players like to buy them out. I’m not much of a hard alcohol drinker myself but i do find the lack of competition to be sad.
