But a floor smelling of whiskey is unusual, unless you\u2019ve dropped some from your glass while trying to negotiate the carpet. Whiskeys like Balvenie&#8217;s Doublewood for instance spend long part of their life in Whiskey Oak cases. This helps mellow the spirit while maturing. It also contributes to the vanilla spiciness, after which the whiskey is transferred to a Sherry Oak case. These cases in turn impart the whiskey\u2019s fruity and honeyed depths. Well, after the whiskey\u2019s out and ready to drink, the cases and barrels need disposing. So a U.K.-based firm, McKay Flooring Limited, came up with the idea of using this wood for flooring. This sure is a great way to recycle the wood. Just make sure visitors to your home don\u2019t go sniffing at your floor though. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.core77.com\/blog\/object_culture\/why_does_your_floor_smell_like_scotch_16611.asp\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judging whiskey by its age has been an old practice.
