    Also Woodford picks are apparently 2 barrel batches.
    "DISTILLER’S SELECT PERSONAL SELECTION Because each barrel matures at its own rate, they take on a character of their own. So you’ll taste several as you craft your own two barrel batch. Then we’ll bottle your selections, complete with personalized labels. It’s Craft Bourbon, and you’re one of its craftsmen.
    Here’s what you’ll receive:
    180 1.0L bottles of your selected bourbon, offered in personalized, individually labeled bottles bearing your name. A personalized barrelhead. One of the empty barrels used in the bottling (if desired). A private tour of the distillery and lunch with tasting group. Your name on a permanent plaque at the distillery."

    In one of those conversations you get into hanging with Friends: a good Death. I'm not looking to check out, this is in the American Indian tradition of, "Today is a good day to die."
    It's About meeting one's demise with some dignity, grace, bravery, strength, honor and all that glorious testosterone Bullshit. To quote my Pap, "I don't know that there's a good way to die; but there's for sure are a few bad ways."
    With that meandering preamble. You guys gave me an idea for a way an adventurous person could schuck off this mortal coil.
    You're an astronaut floating in low earth orbit. Something has gone horribly wrong and you're untethered and running out of oxygen. You have made peace with your imminent journey over the river Styx. Out of nowhere comes an unattended Whiskey Barrel SCREAMING along at a closing speed of Mach 34: right at you. In this collision you, the barrel, and the 100 Liters of Scotch inside: are all atomized into a mist of crimson caramel SCOTCHMONAUT!
    Then your debris Burns up in a 88 proof blaze of glory! Scattering, Smearing your aggregate, aged, atomized ashes across the Ionosphere.

I've heard the neck pour isn't as good as the rest of the bottle, would the same hold true for the smaller "sample" bottles?
    Also, as a side note. I tried a pour of Ardbeg at my local bar the other day as my first smoky scotch... is it blasphemous to say that all I smelled and tasted was "beggin strips" (those fake bacon dog treats)? My wife was definitely not a fan of my breath the rest of our night out...

    I'm pretty sure a barrel of any liquid exposed to the vacuum of space would result in 100% evaporation of the contents. Even on ISS, the constant temperature would limit wood interaction, particularly with weightlessness potentially keeping the liquid from pressing against the inside of the barrel.

    The Double Oaked selection was Batch 2 which is aged in the second barrel 6-7 months.

    Hey guys (whiskey vault) is there a bottle in your room you've had but have never tried?

    I have a question that may seem kind of strange. Instead of an infinity bottle, I use a 3-gallon charred new oak barrel in which I only put bourbons. My question is if I can no longer consider the barrel's contents "bourbon" after adding the second brand (of Bourbon)? I'm going off of the technical definition of bourbon having to be in unused, new oak. Once I've used it to store one maker's bourbon and then add another...am I correct that now I've broken the chain and this simply becomes an unclassified spirit? Sorry, I know its a weird question, but this is what I think about at night. - Thanks, Tribal Chiefs!!
