Gollihue, Jarrad, Mitchell Richmond, Harlen Wheatley, Victoria G. Pook, Meera Nair, Isabelle A. Kagan, and Seth DeBolt. “Liberation of Recalcitrant Cell Wall Sugars from Oak Barrels into Bourbon Whiskey during Aging.” Scientific Reports 8 (2018): 15899. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-34204-1.
The paper extrapolates approximately 300 g of C-layer glucose building blocks and 1.3 g/L in a standard barrel. These are not measured bottle concentrations; 300 g divided by the stated 200 L barrel capacity would be 1.5 g/L before other assumptions. The authors explicitly say the proposed downstream ethyl-glucoside/HMF pathway has not been shown in whiskey solution. Do not turn it into a claim that a bourbon contains a measured amount of sweet sugar.
