Well here we are again, still in the warehouse, still discussing the many, many intricacies of Scotch Whisky’s lengthy and involved maturation.
Ever wondered what differences might result from air or kiln drying the staves used for cask construction? Or what differences there might be between the operating practices of US versus Spanish cooperages?
Join us as we explore the different extractable flavour compounds which can be found in US and European oak casks, and discuss what exact differences 1st fill casks bring to the maturation process compared with refill casks.
All these topics and more are discussed as we continue our whisky explorations. We hope you enjoy our conversation.
