Researcher synthesis
Use the vocabulary as a retrieval aid, not a fixed global capacity standard. Faster extraction is not proof of equivalent mature flavor.
Assessment
The gorda entry labels a gallon conversion as barrels; other capacities and construction descriptions are over-specific. Barriques, hogsheads and quarter casks vary by tradition. A firkin is not universally interchangeable with a50-litre quarter cask. No measured maturation comparison is presented.
Check capacities against an actual cooperage or applicable standard before calculations. URL indicates April2016; exact dateline unverified.
