Cask creates direction
During maturation, the whisky acquires vanilla, spices and tannins from the oak, which interact with traces of the alcohol the cask previously contained. Even if it is the same type, the results vary greatly depending on the oak species, toasting/charing, previous contents, storage conditions, and maturation period.
