It's a great concept and I fully support the intent, but frankly the execution falls terribly flat in my humble opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-39189027510457005862012-01-15T10:07:11.339-06:002012-01-15T10:07:11.339-06:00Chuck, Ha!

I didn't realize I was overly fond of white and under aged stuff. ;)<br /><br />I think your take, Sku's and others are right on - part of their problem was the way this project was "sold" from the start. The whole "holy grail" thing sort of took over.<br /><br />Broken into it's simplest form, BT's quest for knowledge, to understand what exactly each component of the wood and recipes does to flavor, is one that will certainly equip them with much needed info to craft better whiskey. And consumers will ultimately win because of it.<br /><br />However, I suppose my take, which in retrospect wasn't as clearly made as I would have liked, has more to do with how they've isolated these components. If they find tight grain, top wood wheaters are the most consistent what chance do they have to execute on it without a high price tag? Without backwards integration and purchasing a cooperage, how would they be able to accomplish this?<br /><br />I applaud their effort regardless.Jason Pylehttp://sourmashmanifesto.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-15930038622037380062012-01-15T01:51:00.825-06:002012-01-15T01:51:00.825-06:00Mr. Cowdery,
