[QUOTE="Brunello, post: 552220, member: 4458"] Yes, the matter of casing vs topping clarifies why this happens, but I'd rather know all of this before the post-mortem report, when I'm deciding whether or not to set some aside or smoke it all now. Since blenders don't always reveal their exact methodology (to protect their secret process) I have to either learn the hard way or stumble across a review that mentions it, or hear from other members on the forum who have experience with a particular blend. Right now I'm still wondering about the casing vs topping issue with Sun Bear. Although reviewers, including Jim Ink, talk of toppings, Jeremy Reeves, the blender, mentions only a "range of unique and nuanced casings." I can beleive the honey and elderflower are part of the casing sauce, I still think the tequila is too volatile to have been part of the casing process. I left some out on a paper plate for 21 days and the tequila completely disappeared, while the honey and elderflower remained. So I'll rephrase my original question: [b] What are some popular blends that members might know about that are best enjoyed when they are fresh?[/b] [/QUOTE]
