John do you think this is a close cousin to the 2009 Birthday Bourbon? I’ve had the Birthday Bourbon and some of the tasting notes I’ve read seem to be similar.

Red, I'm not sure how long. I'll try to find out. I first posted up the details on this whiskey here, and it gives a good background on the whiskey.

Matt C., I know that air drying over an extended time period is considered better than drying in a kiln for a shorter time period. Having tasted the whiskey, there’s still plenty of oak influence in the whiskey.

Anyone know how long the bourbon stayed in each type of barrel?

If the staves are dried for that long, is there enough moisture content to create the barrel? Any oak I’ve ever left outside for that time period has turned gray, seeming to lose any vibrancy it might imart to a spirit.
