Explores variability among barrels and the producer's preference for body and texture. Uses three malt components, including a peated refill ex-Rumble component; on-screen barrel identifiers cannot be fully reconstructed from speech. Two starting strategies are explicit: equal parts of liked components, or small additions to a strong favorite. Take component notes first so later defects can be traced and adjusted. Three outcomes differ in dark-sugar, citrus and peat emphasis. Peat does not behave as a simple proportional flavor dial. A house-like result and an interesting divergent result answer different goals. Recommends small measured trials, notes, exploring proof, comparing against the original component, and a stopping rule rather than endlessly chasing perfection.

g the notes decided what you liked what you want to millions there's two approaches even when we do our blending classes that we do here combining three things you really like and equal parts is a good place to start another thing we also like to do and encourage people to do is if they have a really strong favorite mm-hm then to just kind of spike that favorite with a little bit of other things until I add some layers to it right so especially since we were hoping to maybe have a couple of different directions we'll try to start with

lways a good question would we do the Masterclass blending classes that we do here one of the things you'll always have to come back and ask yourself is you worked on a plan is it better than the single bearer right I think this is an improvement over that single barrel I saw oh I got a single girl repeated totally agree it brought it accented the things you liked about that single barrel but it added to it way more vanilla citrus the heat doesn't dominate so it does bring the peak down a little bit but the finish kind of narrows down a little bi

little bit dry or flatter than you want find something big and juicy to fix that without changing much else or if you want a longer finish you want it aroma improve and once again keep good notes pay attention even play with proof something you love combine two things now you proofed a little bit and it could be a game changer so you're trying to enjoy this right so make something you like keep doing it over and over keep good notes so you can you can improve on what you did the last time and yeah have fun [Music] [Music]
