[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 152862, member: 341"] Some giant global brand owns Beam, and everything the Beam-Noe family once made (if they hadn't sold off the branding already.) Two quick revisions to those standards as above, as I do more research. Those new oak barrels are charred on the inside. There's requirements for proof before barreling. Turns out there's no aging requirement... after 2 years you get to call it "straight" bourbon, but as long as goes into the right barrel, it comes out "bourbon." But my guess is, if they're required to be *new* barrels every time, there's some incentive to age for some meaningful amount of time, rather than wasting the wood. [/QUOTE]
