Do not confuse 118–120 distillation proof with a verified barrel-entry figure. Rotation and window practices belong to this remembered operation. The account's simple heat-expansion explanation and exclusivity claims need technical corroboration; barrel photographs do not prove every numerical or sensory assertion.
Original PDF pagination in the supplied 291-page expanded ebook capture, not its displayed reader counters. This is an attributed paraphrase, not a quotation.
Daily assessment of new make and bottling whiskey involved the master distiller and other staff. The account describes thicker eight-hoop barrels, char, iron-clad pine warehouses, unheated seasonal aging, window operation and barrel rotation across positions. Cooper George Durkalski used traditional repair techniques. Photographs document a doubler, ricks and cooper work.
