I understand the premise ... back and forth through charred oak ... so you are freezing it in an oak cask? ... Are you adding water to allow freezing?

What proof are you freezing? It seems to me that freezing an oak charred cask with a high enough water content would cause problems with the cask and result in a leak.

1) what quantity are you freezing?
2) what are you freezing it in?
3) what proof?
4) time frozen
5) time thawed (room temp?)

I am a novice but there just isn't enough info here.

Thanks for responding.
