Ginger Whiskey

[TasSpirits]

So I have some very dry Ginger Beer at 10%, options are back sweeten or add it to a Whisky run, I have some AG Barley, Rye and Wheat I'm about to strip. Thinking maybe do 1 more strip of the same and add the GB to the spirit run. Thoughts? :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I think that would be a very tasty drop after a while on oak. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Dunno if I'd be adding ginger brandy to AG whiskey... but let us know how it goes if you do!

[TasSpirits]

I've got plenty of my favourite Whisky, Rum and experiments down aging, trying to think outside the box for something new. I love Ginger BTW. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Go for it, if it doesn't work out rerun it as neutral and make gin! I think it could be quite nice but getting the balance of ag to ginger would be the trick.

I made and distilled some ginger beer with my pot still. I intended to not age it. I got very little flavour carry over and ended up adding ginger for extra flavour. Your mileage may vary..

Running this now, 10LAG low wines and 10L 10% GB, nothing ventured, nothing gained. :D

:handgestures-thumbupleft: def interested in how this turns out..

You go a long time between taste tests :sad:

Fair enough :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I am surprised you have not given it the old 6 month mark sample :shock:

I have a lot of experiments ageing away, the GB Whisky has not taken much colour from the oak yet :think: Smells OK, might even get motivated to dig it out and have a sample. Just started a new job so I haven't had much time for drinking or distilling the last few weeks. :angry-banghead:

What ratio of oak per litre is it :think:
I find 1 domino to each litre gives good colour over 6 month period. Around 13 grams

I generally only use 1 per 2L, i don't drink much young spirits anymore, unless Im drinking it white, mostly ageing long term now. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Update: tried 1 nip at ageing strength, the wheat needs some more time to settle, nice spice note from the rye ,definite GB bite that fades to a nice malty finish. Will try again in march. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
