I tried my whisky this evening.  It’s not even close to being done, but I’ve undertaken the task of tasting it every month to monitor the changes my tasty liquor is undergoing.

This month, I’m happy to report that my booze no longer tastes like straight rum.  After one month in the oak barrel, the liquid has changed from a crystal clear booze to a pee-yellow, well whisky looking concoction.  The hooch is still sickly sweet, but it’s getting more woody and flavor profile is a bit more grown-up and well rounded.

A few more months of this and I’ll be well on my way to making (i.e. aging) some serious moonshine!
