A strong organizing metaphor: barrel chemistry is nested inside warehouse architecture and climate, so maturation cannot be explained by barrel specification alone.
Strickland previews the warehouse chapter and identifies design, construction, microclimate, macroclimate, and barrel placement as maturation variables.
The warehouse is effectively the cask that contains the cask, and its materials of construction and environment are every bit as important as the casks themselves.
