The review surveys wood origin, heat treatment, spirit strength, cask size and alternative aging treatments. Faster extraction or more phenols in small casks does not establish equivalence to long maturation or better sensory quality. Its boiling-point-only account of barrel evaporation is too simplified for unqualified reuse.
