Those warehouses are huge and they only started bar-coding the barrels very recently. Heaven Hill has about 800,000 barrels aging at any time and sometimes barrels get lost. They found a few 27 year old barrels and didn't even know if the whiskey would be any good until they opened them. A barrel loses about 4% a year to evaporation so a 27 year old barrel would have very little whiskey left by the time it was dumped.Rabbi Charles Arianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936036682918877496noreply@blogger.com
