I may have to try the experiment myself, as I have a batch of Wray coming in. (It's not available here.) I never did a formal week-by-week comparison. Ok, I think I forgotten do it. However, the last time I made a batch, I ended up making 2. By virtue of having a large supply on-hand, it's taken me a while to get through it. The flavor of the 2nd batch has indeed deepened over time (I had initally tasted both at 1 month). So I think there is something to be said for letting it age for a period of time. If I can remember to do it next time, I'll do a more scientific tasting against a control batch to see where the curve lies w/r/t flavor and aging. kevin
