[MM-MALTS-L] Change in maturation

[Magnus Orrenäs]

Hi all

 

I am a lurker since more than ten years and I have been very happy that
way, sharing all the wisdom and debates on this list.

But now I feel the need to come forward with a question of my own.

 

I am together with some friends the lucky owner of a cask of
Bruichladdich. We have now been given the possibility to bottle only 1/3
of the cask (bourbon barrel) and to leave the rest for a few years more.

I think it would be very interesting to have two different age
expressions of the same whisky, I like the idea.

 

I expect the maturation process to be different with the cask containing
1/3 of air (or rather alcohol vapours), but different in what way?

What could we expect from the aging process for such a cask?

 

Any thoughts appreciated

 

Cheers
