# Tapping & Bottling

## Tapping your barrel

When you feel that the moment is right and you're ready to enjoy your barrel, your barrel will be tapped. Does this happen in 6 days, weeks, months, decades...? The choice is ultimately yours. This action will also change the NFT itself, although your involvement in The Graine Ledger ecosystem will not. Although you no longer have a cask associated with the NFT, it is your token that allows your place in the DOA and all related community events. Selling of the NFT after tapping is of course permitted, but this will result in the loss of your place in the community (exception for American Genesis owners).

## Bottling 

After your barrel is tapped, every bottle will be labeled with every detail that pertained to the cask the whiskey was pulled from. Barrel name, location, mash bill, bottle number, finish, owner, barrel date, pull date, and the unique logo design made by the creator will all be present. As a true single barrel product, this is whiskey in its purest form. Cask strength. Non-chill filtered. This is whiskey created by those who want to cherish it.
