So is it basically a wood fire that destroying barrels and barn, causing the alcohol to flood the ground?

 

with cask strength booze, I can see it also burning off some alcohol.

I just read that this was young bourbon and about 1% of their production.

Scotch  whisky has that smoky, peat flavor tone.

Re-lablel it as JB First Cut Scotch.
