I regularly get together with some family friends and one of them said he would pay for my costs to make a single malt scotch... Now... I know how to make scotch... its pretty simple... and I have access to a Still, however... I do not have access to a good barrel... I was thinking about doing something a bit wierd...
I was going to toast up some oak chips and char a few of them to simulate the oak character you would get in a barrel. Then let it age in a carboy for about 5 years before checking it... Does anyone think this will work?
Thanks,
Jason
