Bourbon to soak Oaks Cube into Imperial Oatmeal Stout

[Hsuan-Tso Shen]

Hi All

I plan to brew the barrel age imperial oatmeal stout. I did see the 3 bourbon as follows, and would like to check which one work better to soak the oaks cube.

1. Buffalo Trace
2. Evan William white label
3. Wild Turkey 101

The bourbon is used for soaks the oak cube only, and will stay around 3 weeks. The liquid will not transfer to the beer.
Plan to use 28g Oak Cube with 140 ml bourbon. 28g Oak Cube will plan into 15 liter beer

Big thanks !

I re-wet my barrels with Turkey 101 and plan on using it for soaking staves in the future.

Any of those bourbons will work just fine. Choose the one with the flavor you like best.

Just curious: why not also add the bourbon to the beer? It will add some good flavor to it
