Came out ok.
It is an additive, imitation of the real thing.
Like all short cuts it tastes good, but not the same.

Did you use 65% to extract the flavour?
How long did you leave it in the neutral?
Perhaps leave it a week or more.

Had a tin all ready.
2 cups of peat moss from the gardening section of Bunnings ... strangely enough the packager of the peat moss is "Brunnings"
Onto the BBQ turning every 10 - 15 minutes
Kept popping the lid.
Bit of a shock the first couple of times but no problems
After about an hour it stopped popping when I shook the can... so it seemed the right time to take it off and let it cool.
The now cool peat went into a jar with about 700mls of 65%.
Then strained with a kitchen strainer and kitchen wipe.
Came out smelling oddly like caramel.
Four drops into 15ml of French Oaked spirit (about 2.5months old)
Got the Missus to do a taste test with the peated and unpeated .... she picked the difference straight away.
It also seemed to smooth the spirit out as well.
Worked out to be about 1% IE. to 700mls of spirit 7mls of peatreek
So am now leaving the peat in a jar with another 700ml of 65% to steep for awhile.
This stuff is a winner, no question about it.
