No way to treat a cockatiel.

Damn glasses.

“Since the barrel is porous itself, there’s also oxidation that happens with the cocktail; this adds another layer of flavor...”

A fair percentage of the alcohol evaporates, and the oak char re-flavors the remaining liquid. Might as well order a slushie, or whatever.

Sounds like somebody is trying to get rid of an inventory of used whiskey barrels. Who in their right mind would want a martini that’s been sitting in a whiskey barrel in the closet for three months?
That’s just not right.

I can't wait that long for a drink. 😆

I let Macallans do the aging for 18 years.

That way I only need to wait 24 hours for the water to freeze to ice and I'm set.

That much patience I have....

You’ve probably seen (or ordered) a barrel-aged drink at one of your city’s finer cocktail establishments.

This is where you lost me. I can't afford those places. A little Rittenhouse Rye and some orange/lemon zest and peel and I'm good.
