USA Premium Store 1LB Charred White American Oak Chips Sticks Distilling Moonshine Beer Wine

This is a great but l buy but be warned very strong I put 2 sticks in a 5 gallon batch of dry red wine I'm allowing to bulk age and over oaked it one week was perfect it offered a great sweetness and I had bits of vanilla caramel sweet grapes and and other wanderful flavors so all in all great purchase would definitely order again which I will do it was my fault on it over oaking my wine but I'm aging another 5 gallon of the exact same wine so I'll just blend them together and proceed so since it's my fault and not the products 5 outta 5 stars just pay very close attention and I'd suggest taking the wood out after only 1 well if you use 2 pieces altho I suggest only using 1 for 5 gallons and even then pay close attention

Ignore the negative feedback. In less than two weeks I’m seeing a definite change in odor and a nice caramel color is forming. Obviously you will need to filter the product after this process. The negative reviews show a complete lack of understanding how this product is supposed to work. Do some research please before you complain because this stuff does the job.

Cut these into smaller pieces so they would fit in mason jars. Half a stick changed “ white shine” into a dark whiskey in just a week. I did wash off the loose spot before adding to mason jar. Will still need to filter if ya don’t want to drink some ash. I didn’t. Made the shine way more sipable.

My one complaint is that it needs to have a separate bag inside shipping envelope. I open Amazon packages like a kid on Christmas morning expecting his favorite toy . . . charcoal dust everywhere (the wife was not amused) On the plus side: I used a cheaper bourbon that I can buy locally for about $22 a 1/2 gal. I've been using the spiral charred oak products, they work 2 spirals per 1/2 gal but a little spendy but they do smooth the bourbon quite a bit. These sticks are large so I first pour the bourbon into a 2qt mason jar add the stick and seal. 30 days later the bourbon was almost too smooth after being used to the other method, I drink Old Fashions with my own homemade brown sugar syrup. I'd say it's comparable or better than Makers Mark for smoothness. I'll be a regular customer now. Top shelf quality bourbon for bargain basement prices. Will be trying more experiments with other alcohols in the future to smooth them out and age them.

Other than that, it looks like some solid oak lumber cut into slices and charred in an oven.Not at all a bad product!!But the sizing indicates the maker doesn't truly understand how it will be used.

These work. I put 4 in 48oz of my own 120 proof moonshine for 2 weeks. Proofed it afterwards and was still 120 proof. The color and aroma are very and taste is smooth. Highly recommended.

Great product for oaking liquor. Just make sure you thoroughly rinse it off before you use it. You will still get small charcoal particulates in your liquor and will need to filter the final product. It definitely works great for rapid aging unaged white liquors. I typically cut a stick in half for 1 quart of product. Best proof for oak aging is 122 - 124 proof for best results.

this was perfect. to be fair i like a stronger flavor to my whiskey so i put the entire package into about 2 gallons of whiskey and the flavor is great. after i finish that off ill likely soak them in red wine and torch them again for reuseVery satisfied.
