I was originally going to share only the dechar/rechar video of this Bowmore Wood series, but when I saw there are 20 segments I knew I had to share them all. I know what I’ll be watching tomorrow during my breaks! By the way, if you want to sneak ahead to the dechar/rechar segment, 12/20, it is fascinating. The level of detail that goes into the dechar process alone will captivate you. From the video, different companies will prescribe precisely how much char they would like removed from a used barrel/cask so as to achieve a desired flavour profile, one that is unique to that distillery. It is incredible how the finest detail adds to a distillery’s character. Therefore, I think this is a good reason to try younger whiskies from a distillery, too. It gives you an opportunity to really get a sense of a distillery’s individual character and charm before too much wood influence takes over the whisky’s flavour profile. Here is the Bowmore Wood series. Enjoy!
