1 2013 in cocktails gin original recipes hacked by imam with love 2 comments age your own whiskey by stevi on november 7 2011 in cocktails fun local whisky my whiskey barrel along with sudden explosion of new distilleries there has been a proliferation of white dog whiskeys on the market in the last few years white dog is unaged whiskey like vodka it s a popular first product for a new distillery as it can be immediately bottled and sold to start bringing in income rather than making us wait for their finished product woodinville whiskey gives us the chance to share in the experience with their age your own tm whiskey kit the kit features a two liter aging barrel with stand two 750ml bottles of 110 proof headlong white dog at 110 proof 55 abv a funnel to get everything inside and two glencairn tasting glasses to see how things are going prepping the barrel is easy fill it up with good clean water then let it sit somewhere that won t be damaged by any leaks until no leaks are evident the point is to let the wood swell with to close any gaps while not losing any precious liquor there was almost no seepage from my barrel from the start so after a day i drained the water i tasted a little which had just the faintest tinge of brown and was amused to discover there was a slight hint of both oak and sweetness in went the white dog and the waiting began a key decision in aging spirits is the location of the barrel the ideal spot will change temperature this helps the liquor expand into the wood and then contract this is the whole purpose of barrel aging the liquor extracts various chemicals from the charred wood changing the character of the final product it also oxidizes with the air that manages to permeate the oak fibers these processes change the original distillate it s up to you to decide when it has reached its prime thirsty angels i was tempted to place the barrel on the plant shelf outside my window but was warned against putting it anywhere it would get direct sunlight i chose a shelf out of the sun but located where it would gain the most from the heat of the day and the cool of night i managed to wait a whole week before my first taste of my experiment it s so much easier to take tastes from aging liquor than it is from fermenting beer the high alcohol levels mean that sanitation is not a huge concern and oxidation is considered a plus in this process simply remove the bung from the top of the barrel place your glass under the spigot and turn the spigot on and you have a taste after just one week the whiskey was noticeably sweeter with some very raw oak flavor as well as a light straw color i continued tasting about once a week some weeks it seemed like it was getting really great and some weeks it seemed really awful talking to orlin and brett at woodinville whiskey reassured me they joked about the occasional panicked call to their mentor dave pickerell former master distiller at maker s mark about how suddenly the whiskey was ruined he d reassure them that it was all part of the aging process as different chemicals wax and wane through the process the taste improves and worsens the skill of the distiller of an aged product is finding that sweet spot that maximizes the benefits of wood aging while minimizing any negatives finally after three months i was satisfied my whiskey had strong oaken notes but a nice smooth finish i choose to bottle at the same strength it went into the cask rather than adding any water to reduce the proof while i knew i d taken a few ounces out of the barrel for tasting i wasn t prepared for just how much was lost i had poured 1 5 liters of white dog and bottled under 900 ml i was very happy with what the angels left me at bottling proof it has a slightly stronger wood taste than i like in general when tasted straight but pouring a jigger over a nice piece of ice brings it into a great balance i especially like using my whiskey in old fashioned especially with cinnamon syrup and chocolate bitters of course i couldn t leave that barrel empty i ll write about my additional experiences in barrel aging as soon as i put this old fashioned down aging your own whiskey is a great way to appreciate what is really involved in making any aged product i have a renewed appreciated for the art of the distiller i can t wait to see what orlin and brett have done on their own luckily i won t have to wait too long on november 19 they are releasing their long awaited bourbon as well as an american whiskey i can t wait to compare it to my own whiskey provided i have any left 4 comments portland cocktail week 2011 october 11 2011 i had a great time at portland cocktail week last year naturally i ve been eagerly awaiting its return my
