Connects sensory formulation to inventory math and reproducibility.
The author explains why a partial cask is preferable to changing a blend simply to consume complete barrels.
Because casks differ in fill volume, evaporation, and alcoholic strength, blending by whole-barrel count can distort a repeatable formula. Strickland calculates component percentages using proof gallons or liters of absolute alcohol.
