2 Pack - Barrel Aged in a Bottle Oak Infusion Spiral. Barrel Age Your Whiskey

I put these in a jar of moonshine and forgot about it for about a year and a half. When I finally opened the jar, I had legitimate whiskey as if it had aged in a barrel. Had all the taste and nuances you would expect from whiskey. Totally recommend if you want extra age in a bought bottle of whiskey, or experiment with clear alcohol as I did and make your own.

I experimented with a bottle of Weller SR, and a bottle of Spirits of the Apocalypse (which I bought for $10 in Tampa). My chief reason for this experiment was to find if this was a gimmick product. The instructions on the spirals are to plop it into a bottle and wait, with the goal of aging the bottle further. After 2 weeks the spirals flavor will be fully extracted. For these two bottles, 1 week was plenty. For the Weller SR, the results were interesting. The nose became something near identical to Weller 107. I was instantly impressed with how much a week improved the nose. On the taste, 1 week of aging nearly over-oaked the bottle. I say nearly, because it's still drinkable. Actually, it's enjoyable if you like oak flavor. Again, the OWA comparison is striking. I believe I've improved the overall taste of this bottle. On the Spirits of the Apocalypse... Wow. Simply wow. I've turned what cost me $10 into something that competes with $80 bottles. The complexity that the spiral added to this juice floored everyone who's tasted it. Sweet vanilla, caramel, oak. The bottle is aged for at least 4 years but after spiraling it this tastes at least 4 years older yet. I will be buying more of this bottle, and aging it again. The value vs taste is incredible, and if you are reading this I highly implore you to spend the $20-$25 to do this yourself. Overall impressions of this product: for $10 you can really improve a cheaper bottle of bourbon. This is not a gimmick product. But beware, you need to sample your juice at least every 3 days to make sure you don't over-oak your bottle.

It worked way better then i was thinking well worth it

Purchased these to help age and mellow homemade bourbons and other alcohols. Worked well with 1st batch of bourbon. Helped mellow the flavors. If you are brewing small batches these would work well to help age the alcohol.

I saw these on TikTok and wanted to give them a shot. Got 2 different bottles of "cheap" bourbon (Early Times and Ancient Age) and put one coil in each. After two weeks, the flavor didn't change all that much and the Early Times seemed to get more bitter. I was expecting both to get more "oaky" in flavor but that didn't seem to be the case. A few friends who tried these two bottles agreed. I'm not bourbon expert but do enjoy the better bourbons that you can still find in the store like EH Taylor, Willett, Eagle Rare, Blanton's etc. I wasn't expecting this product to turn my cheap bourbon into Pappy, but I was hopeful for a positive outcome. Your mileage may vary.

Works well

I used one stave for two weeks to age my Poorer Man's Pappy (Prudent Pappy) and I couldn't be more happy with the result. I absolutely love how this came out and I will continue to make this blend with this oak stave.

Saw this scrolling through some other bourbon-related searches, and thought I'd pull the trigger based on some of the reviews/comments. I was thinking for 10 bucks, might as well take a shot at potentially enhancing the experience of a cheaper bottle of bourbon as it 'cures' [I don't feel comfortable with the word 'ages'] for several weeks. I started with handle of a common cheaper bottled in bond higher proof (100) bourbon, took the cap off, and dropped the wood spiral in as per the instructions, and walked away for 2-3 weeks. Simple enough. After the incubation period was over (and I was getting thirsty), I tried the first taste as I usually prefer my bourbon: in a double rocks glass with a clear ice sphere. The result was definitely 'different' -- I feel like it 'smoothed' some of the 'edge' off the taste. Which may compare to the impact of more aging. But personally, I prefer a little 'bite' to my higher octane bourbons (I feel like it lets me know 'oh yeah, I'm not your typical 80 proof sip'). So regarding the intended purpose, it definitely altered the flavor and smoothness of the higher proof bottle -- which some folks might enjoy. So, I think in the end it will come down to personal preference in the final results ... and I don't think it necessarily makes a $30 bottle taste like $150 bottle. But at $10, it's worth a shot for those interested.
