Here I will try to give an answer to the most common questions that we receive and give you courage in your future experimentation.

All you need is clear glass bottles or jars, wooden sticks from timber proven to be suitable for ageing alcohol and very important not contaminated in any way, and of course the alcoholic drink that you wish to age, improve and develop.

Using wooden sticks is the best way to experiment and find out which level of toasting and what kind of wood will be more suitable for the drinks you are creating.

This method is very suitable for people making small quantities of alcohol and still would be able to experiment – and yet not be limited by the small amount they have.

The ageing wooden sticks are suitable for all different kinds and varieties of alcoholic drinks that are usually being aged and kept in wooden barrels.

Brandy, whiskey, bourbon, wine, schnapps, gin, Sambuca, beers and ales, cognacs …etc.

As many of you know every single brew of alcohol is different and unique, so experimenting is the clue to success.

If you are not too sure what kind of barrel to use and you are nervous and full of questions nobody can give you the answers you seek in full. It is you that have to get out there and find out for yourself.

Every drop of alcohol differs and unique!

Everybody has different taste and expectations of the desired results.

All that I can say as an experienced hobby distiller and a professional cooper is that experimenting gives you confidence and leads to better results.

One Oak Stick is enough for the whole bottle of alcohol (0.750gr)

Heavy Toast(Charred) brings pronounced caramelized, carbonized and toast flavours very quickly - it doesn't need much contact time.

 It is most often used in big, bold red wines.

Medium Plus Toast is between Medium and Heavy Toast. 

It has aromas of honey, roasted nuts and a hint of coffee and spices. It seems to be the ideal toast level for red wines.

Medium Toast has fewer tannins but more bouquet so will impart more aroma than flavour. 

It has a warm, sweet character with strong vanilla overtones.

Light Toast French oak, coconut and fruit flavours.
