the liquid
-

10-Year is 99% corn, 1% malted barley

sonic infusion
-
This process is patented by the US government. Sonic Infusion is submerging the speaker blade into the individual barrel and sealing it. The sound waves and pressure directly impact the liquid forcing the liquid to interact with the Oak Barrel. The others simply play speakers in the storage area and the likelihood of the sound penetrating the barrel is very low as they are waterproof and have a 1’ thickness.
-
100 dB, 120-200 Hz and 92 beats per minute is what the Disciple engine recording produced playing through the speakers.
