Useful for explaining why warehouse position and batching matter even when new make and barrels are nominally identical.
The discussion links nineteenth-century rackhouse design to both maturation variability and brand consistency.
Tiered warehouses create different temperature and humidity zones, and barrel position changes extraction and evaporation. Producers use rotation, location knowledge, and batching to manage the resulting variation.
