CLIMATE

How surroundings shape aging.

Matched casks age in their country of origin and in Western Canada’s temperate rainforest. We look at how each environment affects the spirit.

CHEMISTRY

Oenological analysis of changes in the cask.

We track the chemical changes that happen as the spirit matures, so that what we taste can be tied to what is happening in the wood.

TASTE

Expert and consumer evaluation.

Trained tasters and everyday drinkers assess the cask side b y side, so the differences can be described and evaluated.

USE

Findings guide our warehouse decisions.

The results shape how we manage our warehouse as we plan for the future.
