Your videos and Ben’s videos are all great. Thank you so much for your great work.

I have a question related to the barrel displayed in your videos. Conventional barrel, but I always wonder abut the ‘top’ metal ring. We see many rivets all along the ring, closely spaced, but it’s hard to imagine how this aids keeping the ring in place.

Do you notice the strange nature of these rivets in the ring? I imagine the inner side of the rivets possibly extend into matching holes in the wood staves, but I’ve never seen any information to support my guess.

Notice with the slope of the wood at the ends of the barrel you would expect a tight metal ring to easily work it’s way off of the end of the barrel. The visible rivets must somehow keep either end ring secure.

I suppose I could try a Google search, looking for the answer.

Thanks!

As usual, very informative.

Ive been watching for a while and im curious to know what your number 1 whiskey would be ive tried alot with you guys but im curious of your all time favorite if you could only pick one in the world witch would it be? I want to by it and see how it is if i can find it.
