So I'm just not a hard liquor guy. I do appreciate a good bourbon but it's just not for me. However, I am a connoisseur of cannabis concentrates, mainly rosin, and am a beer dork. I absolutely love listening to people in adjacent communities talk about what they are in to. Dope video, really enjoyed it. Cheers from Wisconsin!
I appreciate the support and perspective. Definitely don’t have to be a hard liquor person to enjoy quality. I’m not a cannabis guy but I still listen when people talk about “strands” and everything else.
I have had experience with the infinity barrels(what I call)you can expect the 1ltr barrel to simulate a year of aging about every 8 weeks, 10 weeks on 2 ltr, 12 weeks on 3 ltr, 15 weeks on 5 ltr, 18 weeks on 10 ltr, 23 weeks on 20 ltr. 200 ltr, 1 yr. of course. I have also find that the 3 ltr. seems to be the best for what I've found when it comes to a more smaller personal size. They also all need to be recharred with a hand torch after about 5 to 8 aging periods(depending on aging times)by taking the bands off 1 side at a time. And the unvarnished barrels work best, keep barrel wax, extra bungs, painters tape, corks and spigots handy. And wax around the bung after filling and bung where the spigot is now(it's you most vulnerable spot) to the angels share. If you don't want to lose more E.H.T. then you have too. Tasting after 3 weeks is futile. You won't tell. If you are not tasting any difference from 3 to 12 weeks hence the recharring process. I would have started with a Benchmark, J.W. Dant, Ancient Age, Rebel, Fighting Cock, or an inexpensive BIB. One of my best was a Mix of Dickel White#1 & Jack Daniels Bonded Rye in a 2Ltr Barrel for 14 Months. Making it about a C52/R38/B10 8+yr. Aged Mashbill. I have found out that the better bourbons are good just the way they are. If you can get a wine, port, sherry, pinot, rum or even a cognac barrel for a finishing then it can be interesting. Good Luck at your infinity journey. Cheers🥃
Dude! You’re a wealth of knowledge. I love all the recommendations you just gave. I know I took a leap of faith by using an allocated bottle in my first experiment but what’s the worst that could happen? 😅 Cheers! 🥃
I'm interested to see the results. My first choice on what bottle to use it was Eagle Rare, then I thought it would be funny to try a Jack Black. Enjoy your content! Cheers Kevin
Yes, you’re right. I did pull out a small sample and also another unopened bottle to compare stock to the results. You definitely don’t want to miss the outcome. Cheers! 🥃

Would love to see what happens to a woodford reserve double oaked inside another oak. Cheers!
Now that’s a great idea 👀

Thank you for the support and recommendation. A vanilla toasted eagle rare would be a hot ticket haha
A one liter bottle of Weller Special Reserve would be an interesting experiment.
I just so happen to have one on hand 😈. Thank you for the support and recommendation 🥃
I have 6 bottles of White dog mash #1 I'm gonna age and see how it goes.
interesting experiment, shouldn't you have held some back as a control sample to taste test against to see if it has improved or not?
Yes, you’re right. I did pull out a small sample and also another unopened bottle to compare stock to the results. You definitely don’t want to miss the outcome. Cheers! 🥃
Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered would be interesting with a vanilla toasted flavor.
That’s a great idea! I might throw that in the barrel for my next experiment
I probably would have used Benchmark Full Proof
Alright I’ll add that to the list of recommendations. I’ll make a poll to determine the winner. Cheers! 🥃
what if i put some chocolate chips in the barrel with mine while i age my stuff? would the flavor infuse? or ruin whatever i put in there?
You know what, that’s a great question haha. I’d have to direct you to the man himself (Barreled Chronicles). He’d have a better answer than me 😅
@@The_Unbottled thanks :D
is this like the ones i can buy on amazon? or is this specially made somehow?
Barreled Chronicles has the special barrels similar to the one I used.
I’m hopeful for the results!
