I have some plum brandy that is about 6 weeks old just on plain oak chips
I did pretty loose cuts with it to start off with ( coz I like a bit of bite in these sorts of things)
Straight off the still it was quite acceptable and I just have the occasional nip whenever I'm out in the shed
Had a slug this arvo after not having tasted it for maybe 2 weeks and it has totally changed, the taste is ok but when you breathe in after a shot it really hits in the back of the throat and has this horrible metho tang.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?
Btw it's current abv is 55%
