Works like a charm!

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2022

Steeped with this chipped wood in high proof moonshine... it creates a very dark product within 3 days, after 5 days I strained off the mix and filtered the product through a coffee filter... it made a better whiskey than most that you will purchase at a high price after I age the final product for about a month in a dark place, undisturbed.

I had friends do a blind taste test using Jack Daniels black label, Jim Bean Double Aged, Wild Turkey 101, Markers Mark and this wood steeped product...they all picked the steeped wood product over them all.
How I did it:
I took about 1 1/2 cup dry measure of the chipped wood, washed it clean of dirt, etc with cold water... dried it out,
Added the measure to a quart Mason jar, and added the moonshine to the jar stopping when the wood floated to the top of the rim, closed the jar, shook it, opened back up the jar and added more shine to it to the top, then stowed in in my pantry where there is no light. I checked the mixed once a day(never shake) with a sip until I like how it tasted which started to become great at 3 days at 5 days I was liking it very much, so I took the product and strained it, adding it back to the jar, I stowed it for a month, check the taste w a sip every other day. It seems to begin to mellow and began to have a superior taste that I can firmly say reminds me of ten year aged Eagle Rare 101. Im guessing if you like good whiskeys, you should try this w marketed moonshine, as it'll probably turn out similar to my product.
Have fun!
You're welcome!

Try it

I'm a home distiller, and at first it seemed like i got the wrong product because it definetely wasn't ask dark as the picture suggested. After a fresh batch of 50% alcohol and one week in about a half a cup of these chips and iv'e got a product that tastes and smells like Jack Daniels. These chips are fantastic and worth the buy. The flavor is perfect, but depnding on the alcohol strength you may need to back sweeten.

Origional review was one star until I tried them, I stand corrected and you will to unless you try it first.

Good product, the picture is misleading. I ordered dark and got medium toast

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2023

This is a good product for tempering spirits. I was disappointed that the 'dark' toast looked just like the medium toast that I had ordered weeks back. -1 star for that, someone needs to either fix the picture or the people packing this stuff ;)

Great product

Char too light.

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2023

As most have said (I didnt read before buying), the chips are not a heavy dark char at all. Not even medium, it's a light char at best. I am going to have to toast them in the oven to get them as dark as needed. If you want a light char, it's a good deal, and the delivery is prompt, but know what to expect before you order.

Good value, plenty of oak chips, very darkly toasted

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2016

I like these wood chips and the flavor they impart. I wish there was a way to grind them into oak sawdust because that would make for more wood to wine contact. After I've let these sit in the wine for 7 days, I take them out, rinse them off and use them in my smoker when smoking meat. I"m not sure if it adds any flavor to the meat, but why waste wine-soaked wood. It can't be bad, right?
Good price, there are plenty in the bag, I consider this a good value and an easy way to oak wine. If I used the whole bag when making a batch of wine, that'd be fine because they're pretty cheap, but I'm more likely to use about a cup in the primary ferment and another cup in the secondary ferment.
