Aging alcohol in barrels which are designed to preserve the flavor as it keeps the fermentation process and the aging process from turning the alcoholic beverage into a germ and fungus growth medium.  The exact science of making whiskey or wine has been studied and documented over may centuries with each generation getting better and more efficient at making delicious alcoholic beverages than the generation before it.  A truly delicious spirit (one that has the potential of winning awards and could cost upwards of hundreds or even thousands of dollars) requires both a scientific mind to get the numbers and ratios correct along with a creative mind to come up with new and fresh ideas for the final product that have a flavor and other qualities that have not been created yet.   Marrying both the analitical brain along with the creative brain is not easy to do and is an uncommon trait found in very few people.  Besides having this special genetic and tempermental makeup which is required for success in this field, the successful wine or whiskey maker must also be a serious student of history.   Without knowing the history of the manufacturing of ethyl alcohol and without knowing the variety of products available in the current market, it would be impossible to know if what you are creating is new, old,  good, bad,  smooth, dry, rare, or common.
