If you have a look at the photos and enlarge them you can see the bubbles on the surface of the liquid in the jars,
cheers
and thanks for the input Doc :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Just got 150ml more slivovica "for free".

The jar on the right is my Drambuie and it's has made a huge difference there, and not for the best, it seems to have lost quite a bit of the herbs and spices taste so that's been taken off the aeration atm. 2nd from the right is tpw with some raisins and a french oak domino that was put down on the 28/12/15, it's drinkable now but I expect it to have a large change over the next week or so. 3rd jar is "still spirits single malt whisky " now that 1 should show a pretty dramatic change over a couple of weeks, and the last 1 on the extreme left is double distilled wheat bix whisky down for 1 week with 1 american oak domino, so nfi what that should taste like. My stoppers are just paper towel rolled up very tightly, cheap but effective, like me :-D

RUMBLE wrote:After reading this thread, I gave it a go with an air pump in my rum and in a whisky.
3.8L in each. 2 weeks both started off at 65%.
After 2 weeks, I lost about 200-250mL in each, however....
The Whisky dropped to 41% and the Rum went down to 56%.
