Oaking low wines

[Doubleuj]

For any that have ever wondered if it's any benefit to oak your low wines before a strip
Run, I'll let you know. Forgot to pull the old oak pieces out of the Demi before stripping my wbab gen3. 8-}

Oaked white dog?

Old oak dominoes left in my Demi John when I was stripping a wbab. I plan to run it through the pot again with the controller as a spirit run. Hope the oak doesn't give a bad flavour once cooked off again, obviously I'll remove the actual oak.

Thought I'd read somewhere that oak flavour doesn't carry through once distilled? Or redistilled??

Yeah it does. But not in a good way.

Id better elaborate. Its very early.
I had a 2 liter bottle of French oaked ujsm I didn't like. Way, way too heavily oaked for my liking and I didn't like the flavor.
No prob I thought as I threw it into a neutral run through my packed column which can easily pull azeo and usually makes good neutral from all the feints.
Not this run. It was the usual high abv but had a noticeable (but different to tails) wet cardboard like flavour to it.
I put it through the carbon filter to remove it.

i ruined a neutral run also by adding a shitty essence liqueur pack to the run, was a cream one. still spirits pina colata i think and the whole run had a faint taste. lemme tell you neutral shouldn't taste like that. through the filter also but still :puke-huge:

wasnt an azeo run, more like 92%

So best to remove the oak then? As I'm going to run it through a pot
