Oh wise one, provide sources that I'm wrong about anything I said. I've not made any strange claims about it.

How about we go through the few objective things I've said here? Anything about what's "best" is subjective, as it's obviously an opinion.

>Oak foeders impart less flavor from the wood than a barrel primarily because of the techniques used in construction. The oak used in foeders is typically an oak that has less flavor, then they steam it for up to a week to remove certain flavor elements - depends on what the brewery wants to impart with their foeder.

>Right, because the flavor can depend a lot on the temperature of the barrel house, the barrel itself, the amount of bourbon left in the barrel after it was used by the distillery, its location within the barrel house, and the conditions of the process of making the barrel/the tree growth as well.

So what is it? You're just pissed that I don't like what you like, or do you disagree with those statements?
