Today we will talk about the brands and bottles that are a result of what many deem to be gimmicky aging techniques. Bourbon godfathers will often say there’s no replacement for time and weather. And largely they are right. These aging techniques in today’s episode aren’t meant to replace time, they are meant to be an experiment to see what happens if you do something different. It doesn’t make anything better, just different. And without folks coloring outside the lines we wouldn’t have single barrel offerings or barrel finished bourbons. We wouldn’t be reaping the benefits of mechanization of bottling operations and a whole host of other options that have been made available to the modern distiller.

Topics/Brands Discussed:
Jefferson’s Bourbon Aged at Sea
