Dumping
Dumping is the act of emptying aged spirit out of one or more barrels, typically to bottle or blend it. At the dump the barrel's final volume and proof are measured (regauged).
The dump is a critical compliance and costing moment: it records the actual yield after years of evaporative loss, fixes the proof gallons for tax, and moves spirit from storage into processing. Capturing the dump regauge per barrel is what reconciles the angel's share, finalizes cost per barrel, and feeds bottle-yield planning.
