How To Make Cheap Whiskey Taste Great!

[@lookin4space]

I couple of other tips- add a tablespoon of water, a little vanilla extract, plus a tablespoon of dry sherry to bottle with that oak spiral and bourbon snobs will swear it’s expensive bourbon. It even works with cheap Canadian whiskey.

That sounds very interesting. I’m going to try it. 😊 Thanks. And thanks for watching!

I will have to try this with some of my ginger wine... Or perhaps mead... Ijust have to wait for the dandelions to bloom up here.

It does impart a more complex flavor. Dandelion wine? That brings back middle school days memories, when our teacher read Ray Bradbury's story.

Video producer here. Love the new info and content. Please dial down the background music, because I am struggling to hear you over it. The trick is to "duck" your soundtrack under your narration when you are talking, and raise it back up when you aren't. Message me for specific directions; happy to help.

Thanks for the input. I used the music from KZbin and it takes a long time to render. I'll tone it down. Thanks for watching!

[@StevenParente]

I just toned the music down willardroad. KZbin says it may take a few hours, but if you check back, I'd appreciate input. Thanks again, I really appreciate your input!

how many times can one use that wood?

[@StevenParente]

Aloha Patrick, two spiral toasted sticks arrive per package. I placed a link in the description. One stick takes about 6 weeks to extract the flavor. I really like how it tastes after that long. Although it's not near as smokey as the peat smoked Scottish whiskeys (my favorite), these spirals do a great job. They can be used for wine as well. For whisky, I put it into a large bottle (about two litres) and let it soak for the full six weeks. For red wine, maybe 3 weeks and taste. If the oak flavor is sufficient, it can added to another large bottle of wine.

@@StevenParente and then burn it in the firepit?

[@StevenParente]

Yep. I don't have a fire pit, I live in a condo, but you could try to roast in the fire again and re-use it.
