what wood you do?

There’s tons of lore around how the first bourbon came to be. The idea to char the barrel before putting the distillate in it is something that we’d largely like to claim. The use of new oak containers and the laws around bourbon are likely the only things we can legitimatly lay claim to. But we can rely on American Whiskey companies to continue to push the boundaries of what the landscape of offerings will look like. They will continue to innovate on the simple American oak barrel. They will explore casks that contain exotic woods. They will explore different ways for that distillate to interact with wood. If we keep drinking it they will keep making it and that’s exactly what this is all about. Finding new and unique ways to enhance our enjoyment of what some might already dub a perfect spirit. But how will we know it’s a perfect spirit if we don’t keep making more of these offerings to prove ourselves wrong.
