Do not infer floor causation from one demonstration or treat research plans as published results. Screen 123's implication that single-barrel releases are never watered down conflicts with screen 78; separate single-barrel identity from bottling proof.
Carlton, 2017, first edition. E-reader screen captures; not printed page numbers.
Carlton contrasts warehouse structure, thermal position and conditions. A ten-year Heaven Hill tasting shows different proofs on different floors, without a simple monotonic floor relationship. Nancy Fraley stresses wood and microclimate variation even among otherwise comparable barrels. Producers combine barrels to maintain a brand's house profile. Warehouse X is described as an ongoing environmental experiment.
