Review on πŸ₯ƒ Aged to Perfection: Time Oak Signature Whiskey Elements – Unlocking the Essence of Time by Drew Diaz

Taming the White Dog

I bought a couple bottles of Buffalo Trace White Dog (aka DIY Pappy) for $13 each. White Dog is simply pure puree straight from the still, not aged or enhanced in any way. If it had been bottled and aged for about ten years, it would have made an excellent bourbon. So I placed 2 bottles of White Dog in a large decanter, along with 2 of the same sticks, plus a competitor's charred oak stick. I left them for about 2 weeks and the color changed to a nice deep gold and the flavor improved a lot. It doesn't taste like grain whiskey that can burn nose hair, it's smoother and less pungent. I plan on letting this sit for another month or so and sipping from time to time to see how it goes. I'm not really going to make Pappys out of this, but it will be interesting to see how it turns out.
