Thank you. That does help a lot. I keep trying it every couple of days and I think that's what my problem is.
I'm going to put it at the back of the wardrobe and try to forget about it.
I do seem to remember that up to 2 weeks tastes ok, after 2 weeks not very nice then it changes again and starts to taste fantastic.
Thanks guys

Thanks mash and vino. The only reason i ask is somewhere else, and i cant remember where there was talk of allowing the flavours in the spirit to round out and settle after oaking.
Just wondered if anyone actually did this.

Sorry to come back a little late.

IMHO/E the longer on chips the better,thet may help or not, life is a bagatelle.

I made 5L of Bourbon 3 years ago using Jack daniel chips. I test it every year and IMHO it gets more rounded and smooth the longer it is left, I'm aiming for 5 years

Don't think so. Did you let it air when they oak was in? I found that very nebuchadnezzar... Bloody keyboard... "beneficial"

Can't help but think there is more to this question

May be a stupid question but does spirit that has come off oak/chips need time in the storage vessel
To condition? Kind of like when brewing beer and you leave it to bottle condition.
