In Episode 2 of Lost in the Staves, we dive into the world of whiskey barrels and explore how different types of wood, previous barrel use, and the aging process shape the flavor, aroma, color, and character of whiskey.

We talk about:

🪵 The different types of barrels used in whiskey
🥃 How new oak affects whiskey
🍷 What happens when whiskey is finished in wine, sherry, or other previously used barrels
🔥 How barrel charring and toasting influence flavor
🍯 Where flavors like vanilla, caramel, spice, fruit, and smoke come from
