Florida Craft Distilleries - Unique Florida Spirits
We say Florida Distilleries are unique.
Did you know that the heat, humidity, and barometric pressure differences change many of the processes for producing some spirits in Florida? In particular, bourbon and whiskey where the higher all-year temperatures and unique Florida factors contribute to the more-rapid aging of Whiskey and other spirits in oak barrels?
This extends also to Rums and other spirits that are barrel aged in our tropical state. The high levels of evaporation in barrels contributes to faster aging and a different taste from Whisky aged in Kentucky and Tennessee. Not that it is bad - In fact, whiskey in Florida often contain the characteristics of a whisky aged longer, but aged for shorter periods here.
