[MM-MALTS-L] Change in maturation

[Kraaijeveld A.R.]

You'd need LOADS, and have to make sure you don't lose any (sorry, couldn't resist, it's Friday afternoon ...)

Fly, you greatest fool
Why can't you say what they want you to
Why can't you do what they taught you
And show what they wanted of you

Rivers of milk are running dry

Can't you hear the dolphins crying?

Would it be possible to fill the void with glass marbles?

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
Magnus
Stockholm, Sweden
