And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Jack's barrels are owned by Glenmorangie. Made of American white oak and after first use of aging bourbon they then are shipped to Scotland and used to age scotch. I like the 10 year old Glenmorangie more than the 12 - 14 year olds. Or so I have been told a few times.
What's really amazing about those barrels, is how much bourbon/whiskey is lost to the angel's share when the bourbon is being barrel aged. If it's a 500 gallon barrel, up to 200 gallons simply is lost to the heaven's. I know Woodford's barreling rooms smell wonderful.
Up in the ADK of NYS, there is a town which is having a problem due to 'whiskey mold' from the 'angels share' from a large distillery barrel warehouse there. Apparently it is on everything.
I hate when flames come out of my bung hole….

DeleteThink I read somewhere that Maker's Mark sells their used barrels to Jack Daniels.

My late uncle owned a sawmill that produced one thing: quarter-sawn, white oak barrel staves. Sold out to Brown Forman when he retired.
ReplyDeleteA lot of those barrels come from McGinnis Wood Products right here in Cuba, MO
