Useful for explaining regional variation, but the source’s example loss rates and climate figures should not be universalized.
The section contrasts Scotland and Kentucky before explaining climate as a coupled temperature–humidity–proof system.
Higher temperatures generally speed extraction and reactions, while humidity affects the relative loss of ethanol and water. As cask strength changes, the extraction environment changes with it; seasonal cycles also alter pressure and wood penetration.
