Oaking your own alcohol
Has anyone tried this? This is something I started trying a while back, but messed up some good booze with adding WAY too much wood (and the wrong types).
So lately I've been experimenting with different types of alcohol and wood. I went to Northern Brewer and picked up toasted US Oak, French Oak, and Hungarian Oak. It's been an interesting experiment to take some white whiskeys and vodkas, drop some cubes in them and let them sit for a few weeks, then try them out again. I've also had a lot of fun stressing the oak by putting the bottle in the freezer for a week, then outside for a week, then repeat the process a few more times. It adds a lot of complexity by simulating the conditions that a lot of distilleries in the US go through.
