LD Carlson 6345B French Oak Chips - Medium Toast - 1 lb.

Still using in the ferment before final rack and bottling but have noticed a good improvement in flavor already. Good quality and easy.

Medium toasted oak chips - no dust or other particulate matter. Used in both primary and secondary with good outcome. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

I am a whiskey fan but whiskey can get pretty pricey so I am always looking for ways to make cheaper bottles of whiskey - like moonshine - taste like whiskey that has been aged for a long time in oak barrels. So, I decided to do some experimenting and see how something like adding oak chips to clear whiskey would improve the flavor. You can see the result in my before and after photos. I blanked out the distiller name for obvious reasons. The main idea is to show what a big change happens in a clear bottle of whiskey when you add a tablespoon of toasted oak chips and let it sit for a couple weeks. The flavor is much improved - of course it won't taste like whiskey that has been aged for years in oak barrels, but the flavor is greatly improved so that you can be sipping your cheap whiskey sooner than later without making an "argh" face in the process. I am currently trying this method in some white rum and cheap brandy to see how the flavors are affected. But, for white lightning types of moonshine, it definitely enhances the flavor very quickly.

Received as advised with out any issue. I used them for red wine making. The oak chips to me are very strong. I would experiment with them first before final placement into your product.

Quality chips,great flavors

Great product! Great price!

Adds a good flavor to homemade wine.

i use these to age white liquor. I've tried a couple different french oaks as well as some american oak. I prefer the french and the LD Carlson is my favorite of the ones i've tried. I boil them for 5 minutes and then rinse in cold water before addint them to the moonshine. it usually takes around 10 to 14 days to finish. HIghly recommend.

Great flavour to my mead
