Cooperage

In addition to getting started with the buidout, I decided to go ahead and put in the order for the oak barrels. I figured I'd better go ahead and do it now since the lead time for these things is about 30-45 days. The fine folks at Nadalie walked me through the process and we are all set for three new 225L (59-gallon) American oak barrels sourced from three different regions:

Barrel 1: Pennsylvania oak (heavy toasting)
Barrel 2: Missouri oak (slow-heavy toasting)
Barrel 3: Virgina oak (medium toasting)

I also decided to go with the 3-year aged wood instead of the standard 2-year.
