A practical formulation method that preserves atypical positive components for later controlled addition.
The example uses ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks to demonstrate how many barrels can be reduced to manageable component groups.
Strickland screens components, standardizes sample strength, pools similar cask types into sub-blends, establishes a lighter anchor, adds heavier components incrementally, records each iteration, and reassesses after rest.
