Identity

Chad Spalding is identified on the cited ISC page as an account manager and the author of Char 4 – World’s Most Popular Barrel.

Authority summary

His relevance is practitioner-facing cooperage knowledge and his attribution of John Pogue’s explanation of Old Pogue’s barrel choice.

Evidence boundary

Use his technical explanations as named vendor testimony, not neutral research. Separate his claims from John Pogue’s quoted producer statement and retain ISC’s commercial interest.
