Those who thought we had completed our journey through the warehouse were sadly mistaken. (As we’re those who thought we’d never return to complete the task!)

We’ve plumbed the depths of the archives to bring you another discussion (how many can there be???) dealing with the many aspects of maturation.

Feel free to join Stuart and Peter as they explore topics as diverse as virgin oak, cask finishes, cask economics, the chemistry of casks, flavour and aroma compounds in oak, and the mysterious relationship between spirit and wood.
