Day 1 16H00
To give an idea of how quickly spirit draws out the caramelized sugars in the STIKs as well as the other flavours (these are not as visual as the colour change obviously, but are most noticeable on the nose and palate) we are going to Photo blog a batch of neutral spirit, as it allows one to see the colour change best.
Stiks used:
1 WHISKY STIK American White Oak, Dark Toast in 150ml (15% of total batch)
In 750ml of spirit;
1 WHISKY STIK American White Oak, Dark Toast, Char with gas flame and water spray to extinguish.
1 FLAVOUR STIK Hickory Light Toast
1 FLAVOUR STIK Hickory Medium Toast
