60g essencia chunks
10g of willards oak barrel soakers
1 cap of edwards scub turkey
5g cherry wood chips I charred to a 4 equivalent
1 cap of port.
5g glycerine
I have been swirling and then airing for 30 minutes every day.
After 9 days, this is tasting fantastic. Really drinkable, and great complexity achieved by using multiple ingredients. I will up the cherry to 10g next time. Until I am grain distilling, this will keep me happy. Going to let it sit for another few days then bottle half and put the other half away for a while.
