Machine Maketh Strong Proofs
“Those phenols can chemically bind and undergo the same reaction, the same catalysts in the wood, and turn into short chain fatty acid esters where the phenol is actually accumulated. Short chain, fatty acid esters. Those taste like leather or tobacco books. Honey flowers. In a nutshell, the way that you hack the process is by taking the wood and putting it in the tube and turning super high intensity light on it… They then get heated up in the tanks behind it, and the wood triggers that reaction to bind it all together. And you get that molecule [that creates] 20 year old booze in a week. Well, six days. I rest on the seventh.” Davis joked.
