Before we dive into the ins and outs of technicalities of barrel char. give us a history lesson about where we are.

We saw one barrel that was cross cut. Talk about that.

What’s the average number of discarded barrels that don’t meet some sort of quality assurance?

Talk about char levels for a bit because it’s something that is always said, but never really explained about in depth.

Is the barrel making process getting more expensive on a yearly basis because of demand and material supply?

For everyone that missed the episode with Chris Morris where we talked briefly about the cooperage, talk about what it means to have a cooperage dedicated to their private whiskey

The release of Cooper’s Craft happened recently. And it was named after the location of where we are recording today. What does that mean to you?
