Eric examines the ways in which spirits can be identified as either "flawed" or "faulty." Some of the topics covered in this Bar Cart Foundations Episode include:
- The similarities and differences between spirits judging and other judged events (like dog shows)
- Why it helps to compare spirits by category and style in order to really amplify the good and bad attributes
- How to identify potentially dangerous faults in spirits that may be caused by ingredient sourcing, sanitation, or barrel contamination issues.
- How to spot less harmful (but still sub-optimal) spirits flaws and trace them back to a particular moment in the manufacturing process
- Why craft distillers are the most susceptible to producing flawed spirits,
- And much, much more
