Toasted &/or charred oak does magical things to a spirit. It's even more satisfying watching your own spirits slowly turn into something more magical than the sum of all the parts. In this video, I show you how to find, season, toast, char, and use your own oak.

Hell of a video, Jesse! I work at a cooperage in the US that deals with a lot of wood flavoring products and makes a lot of toasted wood for flavoring spirits. You nailed everything on your prep! Well done. With that being said you forgot one small but crucial step šŸ˜‰ boiling it!

An A-B comparison of sanded or planed vs grungy wood would be interesting

I make various wood ā€œessencesā€ā€¦.& spices too. I just pack a small jar with whichever thing I want n add 55% spirit in to it. Fill up the jar. Use drops of the ā€œessenceā€ in a 40% spirit, till it tastes good. Another option isā€¦.I speed up the ā€œagingā€ by popping it into the fridge n out again. 24/stepā€¦.it speeds things up HUGELY.

Hey Jesse. I had a 1.2M long (just a bit shorter now) 4"x2" of white oak from City Timber down here in Welly. Missus not too happy about the smell coming out of the oven but I explained why.."Jessie said I had to" Thanks for the awesome vids, ran my first ever run (like first ever) and on a T500 kit. Got lots of tips and confidence from your vids and having a lot of fun beginning the distillers journey.

Iā€™m not a super big drinker outside of some wellers occasionally but itā€™s amazing to see someone that has this much passion for a craft

fun fact about wood flavoring: when I was smaller I have seen people use a branch of cherry wood to flavor the spirits - when distilling they inserted the cherry branch so it acts a pour extender, the spirits were warm and take some of the flavour.

Quick question: at what point is the oak not worth keeping anymore? Sure, second use is valuable, but at what point should you just pitch it? Third, fourth, fifth use? Presuming, of course, that youā€™ve gone a decent length of time with it in spirit for each use and used a decent amount of wood to the amount of spirit it was in. Whatā€™s a good way to tell when the woodā€™s been ā€œused upā€?

Love it Jesse! I was curious if you've ever tried or considered soaking the toasted/charred oak in Sherry to impart those flavors into a spirit? I absolutely adore sherried Scotches like Aberlour A'bunadh but the risk of oxidation in a 6Gal barrel leaved me concerned I'll ruin a large batch of Golden Promise. Keep the videos coming my friend I always appreciate learning more about this hobby!

"a whole barrel for a hobbyist is a BUTTLOAD of wood" I don't know if he realizes the pun he just made.
