My desire is to leave my barrels a minimum of 3 years as long as I have enough from jars to keep me happy. One bourbon from 2022 I won't leave that long. It was made with corn from the family farm and for Christmas I will take Dad a bottle from that barrel. He is 87 and I am afraid he will age out before the bourbon.
Fear and ridicule are the tactics of weak-minded cowards and tyrants who have no other leadership talent from which to draw in order to persuade.

That one special bottle makes the time and effort that you put into this hobby worth it all.Deplorable wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2023 7:22 am It was made with corn from the family farm and for Christmas I will take Dad a bottle from that barrel.
