Aha! Thanks. I'm sure you weren't referring to my own concise posts, lol...


What LS's Davis - and most of the other "fast-aging breakthroughs" depend on its that their rambling explanations (Davis' "White Paper", linked below), is intended to overwhelm, sound authoritative and scientific enough to convince the average drammer that he is really onto something.

But the truth is "fool me once". At this point in modern times we have heard not from one, but surely more than a dozen or two of these egoistic con artists. Many of them have been reported here; none of them have worked, ergo we all must remain highly skeptical until we actually taste them.

Hass, you are not alone in not being impressed by his spirits. Nor was Bear in the review we set up for Cleveland Whiskey's 6-Day Bourbon. I have little doubt that at least a few of these guys were well-intended dreamers, but at a point, all of them must have realized it just wasn't happening.

As examples of Hass' TL, DR articles, below is Davis' very lengthy "White Paper", and then a very competent response and analysis by a true professional:

If indeed this new technology "revolutionizes" the way we think about aged spirits, I can guarantee you that someone will always willing to pay more for the real thing ;)

Reminds me of gambling systems for Horse Racing.

A super punter has a sure fire way of making millions and it works so well out of the goodness of his heart he sells it to people. Rather than just raking in the millions from using his system....................
