Teddys FFV on oak
Posted: Fri Nov 18, 2016 7:20 pm
the Teddys I had was run through the t500 in a spirit run came out at 94% and before moving house I thought I would test some on oak and I was surprised!
What I did;
Teddy's @ 94% spirit run through t500
4.5 litres spirit in demijohn
April 2016 put it away on 400gm French oak
94% is high but it was an experiment I wanted to do something different!
So I am running low on aged product and spotted it and thought I would give it a go, so I poured the usual measure in without checking ABV! and got walloped not badly but I new it was strong I copped a real sweet hit like vanilla, before it settled down while pouring more coke in to bring it back to normal anyway it wasn't terrible I would describe it as "scotchy" and sweet it lacked guts I think toasted may have helped it. I know the originator "teddysad" had tried oak and said he thought it wasn't worth it, but it is not anywhere near an aged Bwko, but I think it did make a drink that is worthy of putting coke in, anyway just thought I would let you know how it went :handgestures-thumbupleft:
