One thing to remember about oak is you can't take it out, that said I once ran 4L of horribly over oaked through an AS, and the output what was fantastic.

Sometimes there is a Bell curve, it starts out in, get horrible and then goes over the top and becomes spanking. You just need to drink more to understand :D

What grain did your mate use, that is a really dark [20+ SRM] brew?

My beer brewing mate made a batch of unhopped malted grain beer for me to still, we shared the booze, here it is before stilling.

The not so scotch single malt is now sitting on these,

These pieces are made from a year seasoned British oak, baked at 180 degrees for 2 hours and then charred with a gas torch, some more than others.
They have had 2 cycles of neuking and are now sitting under vacuum on my window cil enjoying the sunshine, I hope they taste as good as they look!

Learning the effective shortcuts is a challenge.
Not just for a home distiller, believe me, big business is working on it too.
Do not expect them to share :D

I neuked it a couple of times and got stuck in, tasted fine but was nothing special, bourbony taste with a breakfast aftertaste, I was left a little dissapointed after all the work getting to this point.
I neuked it again and left it on my windowsil to let the sun have a go, forgot about it and a week later opened the jar to find a transformed drink, the lesson learned is leave it on wood for some time, mine was a week under vacuum in the sun and WOW it's really good, it's looking to me to be a 50/50 split between the distilate and the wood it resides on as to the flavour of the finished product, I would never have guessed the wood would play such a role.
