That sounds rad - how did you age it?
Got some wood chips toasted em up j In a pan until charred. Then into a big jug with the whiskey. Few months like that is like a couple years in a barrel. Really delightful
I am going to have to give that a shot
Yeee really works well. Also a good idea if you like nice old whiskey but don't wanna spend over $30 on a bottle. Get decent cheap whiskey of choice. Age on toasted chips for a couple months. Now that's really good stuff
Do you have a preference for tree species or is any sort of hardwood chip fine?
Well oak is good of course since it's what 99% of barrels are made of. I have been experimenting with other things like mesquite as well but not sure if I have alternative faves yet
