Review on 🪵 Heavy Toast American Oak Infusion Spirals by Sharonda Guzman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No noticeable infusion after 5 days of bourbon soaking

I broke off an inch of American Oak Infusion Spirals - Heavy Toast and added it to a bottle of Porer Man's Pappy (combination 2/3 Maker's Mark Cask Strength and 1/3 Theft). I tried it every morning to note the effect of the infusion and made notes each time I tried it. After two full days of no change in the bourbon, I added another inch of spiral. On the fifth day there were still no noticeable changes. I then switched to the Oak Whiskey Aging Stick (by BattleGround) and noticed a definite difference/improvement within 1 day. My conclusion; This product isn't the most effective for adding oak notes, toasted flavors, or "aging" bourbon. I'll keep experimenting (maybe charring the coil before adding it to the brew will make a difference), but for now I'd recommend a different brand.
