Howdy folks
After doing a lot of reading here and elsewhere I am after some specific opinions.
I am wanting to get flavours of a Wild Turkey type bourbon for myself and a Bundaberg Rum Red (smooth) type rum for my better looking half :D
I will be using a small reflux still made spirit. I have just made my first batch and have the next lot fermenting now. For the bourbon It seems a lot of people like to use the Gobbler chips with a touch of essence. I already have a couple of sachets of Edwards - Legends Super Smooth Kentucky Bourbon I was given. Opinions of a better essence or combination? I seen one advertised as Scrub Turkey, any experience?
For the rum is a soaker such as Sam Willards rum chips combined with their Premium Rum essence any good?
Any feedback regarding opinions on tastes and best suppliers would be great as there seems to be a multitude of suppliers on the net. I will be wanting to buy online mostly and have shipped to a PO box as I live in country SA (Near Wallaroo - Yorke Peninsula if there is any other Yorkes people that read this). I get to Adelaide from time to time but its far easier to shop online these days.
I have tried the bourbon my ma's other half makes with just his spirit only at 40% and a sachet of Edwards - Legends Super Smooth Kentucky Bourbon and it is not bad I must say but I am looking for a bit more out of it myself...
What say ye?
Thanks
