Supports comparability as the governing principle; the exact proof sequence reflects practitioner preference.
The author specifies a quiet neutral room, consistent glassware, controlled sample temperature, staged proofing, palate management, and dated notes.
Cask samples should be assessed under consistent environmental, glassware, temperature, volume, dilution, and note-taking conditions. Strickland recommends staged assessment at cask strength and controlled dilutions so observations remain useful over time.
