And as I always say it's not the batch, but the barrel, as the rot spores get into the woodThe part of that saying that tends to be ommitted and forgotten is that the few bad apples spoil the barrel. The whole point is that corruption spreads.

There's also the implication that the barrel itself is no longer suitable for storing apples, since the spores that caused the spoilage are now in the wood.
