Has anyone tried aging what you buy, and and aging it some more in an oak barrel? I heard it really improves the smoothness and flavor. It would be interesting to try this aging technique.


Damn, I think I’ve found my Christmas present!

I won’t waste good scotch in it (I think the distillers know what they’re doing), but it would be nice for my homemade brandy experiments.
