LD Carlson 6345B French Oak Chips - Medium Toast - 1 lb.

I am a whiskey fan but whiskey can get pretty pricey so I am always looking for ways to make cheaper bottles of whiskey - like moonshine - taste like whiskey that has been aged for a long time in oak barrels. So, I decided to do some experimenting and see how something like adding oak chips to clear whiskey would improve the flavor. You can see the result in my before and after photos. I blanked out the distiller name for obvious reasons. The main idea is to show what a big change happens in a clear bottle of whiskey when you add a tablespoon of toasted oak chips and let it sit for a couple weeks. The flavor is much improved - of course it won't taste like whiskey that has been aged for years in oak barrels, but the flavor is greatly improved so that you can be sipping your cheap whiskey sooner than later without making an "argh" face in the process. I am currently trying this method in some white rum and cheap brandy to see how the flavors are affected. But, for white lightning types of moonshine, it definitely enhances the flavor very quickly.

Still using in the ferment before final rack and bottling but have noticed a good improvement in flavor already. Good quality and easy.

Quality chips,great flavors

Received as advised with out any issue. I used them for red wine making. The oak chips to me are very strong. I would experiment with them first before final placement into your product.

Medium toasted oak chips - no dust or other particulate matter. Used in both primary and secondary with good outcome. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

I added some of these chips to make homemade Tobasco sauce. The flavor these wood chips have imparted is quality. Would recommend.
