Very large. Does not fit into my decanter or standard cork bottle

The diameter is larger than most bottle necks. You will need a gallon size wine carboy if you want to use the whole stick. Or break it in two and put it in a mason jar for smaller batches. I also have two Thousand Oaks 5 liter Oak barrels and the filling hole is way to small to use these sticks.

Toasting my Bourbons in the Midwest

If you are looking for these for toasting Bourbon, there is a good chance I recommended them in a Facebook group we are in together. A friend in a local Bourbon club gave me a sample of Michter's Barrel Strength Toasted and I absolutely LOVED it. Knowing I was never going to be able to find one of my own made me very sad. A few weeks later I was at my local purveyor of fine beverages and he had a new product called Oak and Eden Toasted Bourbon that had a wooden spiral in the bottle. The gears started turning in my and I found myself on Amazon looking at these spirals (after I picked up the Oak and Eden). I enjoyed the O&E and the toasted flavor, but I recognized that it was "just" a 4 year old MGP sourced bottle. I thought, how awesome would it be to toast a great bottle that I already love? By that time I had found this product and it was on the way to my house. My initial experiments were with Maker's Mark Cask Strength and Michter's Straight Rye. I broke off about a 1 inch piece and finished it in a 4 Roses Small Batch Select bottle (the spiral would not fit in any other bottle I owned). I let it soak for about 4-5 days and it was beautiful. My observation was that once the spire chunk had absorbed enough of the booze to sink in the bottle, it was about done. This was around the 3-4 day mark. Obviously our tastes may be different so take a sip every day and pull it when you love it. Ultimately I think the higher proof Maker's came out much better. The Michter's was great, but my friend had already shown me the gold standard that was Michter's Barrel Strength Toasted and nothing with a proof in the mid 80s was going to measure up. I am looking forward to finding more things to try and hopefully my pals in the local Bourbon club will share their results with me as they experiment. If you find yourself drawn to finished Bourbon's that have a toasted flavor profile, you will really enjoy what these can bring to your bottles. Equally enjoyable is letting others sample what you have created and having them praise your work. If you create something amazing please leave a review on here so I can find new things to try.

They work

Had to drain a gallon from (2) 5ltr kegs and place in 2 gallon beer jugs as spirals were too wide to fit in keg. Left for 3 weeks in glass bottles alternating every few days between garage fridge and outdoor deck to add a little variance in temps, then returned to keg. Seems to be just about the right amount of additional oak flavor but will order 2 more spirals and allow additional soaking time. Also darkened the color of the liquid some. I am currently re-using one of the the spirals in a beer jug (2 won't fit in my jug) with whiskey bottled about a year ago to give it a boost. Will let this bottle sit a month or 6 weeks before testing.

Works wonders!

I was interested in playing around with the flavor profiles of some bourbon to see what these spirals had to offer. In a decanter I used half a stick of the heavy toast American oak spiral. My first batch was a bottle of Buffalo Trace. It's a bourbon I am very familiar with, and already starts out with a relatively pleasant nose, flavor, and finish (if not incredibly complex). A good all around bourbon. Had a tasting party (aka, excuse to drink with friends) and even after a couple of weeks, the nose is more pleasant, flavor is similar to Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, and it finishes very smooth. Very pleasing results, but we started out with a bourbon I enjoy. I wanted to see just how much these oak spirals could do, so I took one of my most disagreeable bottles and put it to the test. Could it make a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 drinkable? A pretty serious test considering Wild Turkey 101 has a nose like acetone, a flavor like e85, and a finish like 91% isopropyl alcohol. After just a week, the results are nothing but amazing. The nose is rather pleasant, flavor is delicious (again similar to WR Double Oaked), and the finish is much more smooth, though maybe a bit too strong for me to fully enjoy (think high rye burn). I can't wait to see how it matures with a bit more time.

Too large for most bottles

Luckily, I had a wide mouth decanter. Would be better they made these small enough to fit in a standard 750 ml bottle.

120proof - 3gal - 1spiral per carboy

The first pic is at the 12 hour mark. Both carboys contain the same liquid however there is a notable difference between the two. The spirals were from the same package. One sank to the bottom while the other was still floating. The second pic is at 1 week! There was still a notable color difference between the two.

This Really Works

I have plenty of good aged spirits on hand, so I didn't really want to see if I could make a cheap bottle of booze taste better. Barrel aged cocktails are all the rage now and I have been using these Heavy Toast spirals to age manhattans using Rittenhouse rye. First I tried pouring a quart's worth of my premixed manhattans into a glass jug and put in one of the sprials. After 5 days of sitting on a counter they tasted great: it didn't change the flavor much, it nicely mellowed the cocktail it and smoothed out the heat of the rye. Probably the best manhattan I have ever made and my guests really liked it. Next time I tried using two spirals, the previously used spiral plus a new one, then waited another 5 days. It tasted good, but not as good as the first batch: it was a little too smoky for me. Next time I put in both used spirals and waited another 5 days and it seemed to be about equivalent to the first batch. Now that it's New Years Eve, I tired hurrying a batch. Two days ago I mixed up another quart batch of manhattans and tossed in 2 new spirals. We'll see how it turns out using 2 spirals and sitting two days. Still experimenting. This process is much simpler, easier and cheaper than aging this stuff in a 1 or 2 liter oak barrel. Worth the money to me. I just ordered some more.
