Maybe soak oak chips in coconut rum?
Ok i brewed up a clone of Dragons Milk today went pretty good, hit an OG of 1.095 instead of 1.099 but pretty Close. So if I am going for the coconut rum should I soak the Oak chips in rum instead of Bourbon? For the Coconut taste I am planning on adding Coconut extract at kegging time.

This is funny that this post has come up. I have a clone thats is as good...maybe better (little more abv). I tried the new holland`s at Thanksgiving and I was shocked how close their brew was to mine.
I brewed a bourbon county stout clone back in Aug. I put it on yeast cakes from a prior batch of BCS (1st time trying that, lesson learned) the prior batch finishing at 13% killed off all the yeast, so after 2 days of no activity with the new batch we pitched 6 packs of us05 and it took off. Long story short it fell short of F.G. at 1.046 and 1.048 and had a out of characteristic flavor from the failed fermentation (should have been 1.032 or so)
We put the batch into 3rd use balcones bourbon barrels anyhow and let it sit 6 weeks. After 6 weeks we kegged it and carb`d it. tastes testing verified it was not on target for what we were aiming for but still good...I decided to add a flavoring (1st time ever) I wanted to do something different with this one since it was out of the profile already. Top Shelf has a liquor flavoring "http://www.homebrewing.org/Top-Shelf-Coconut-Rum_p_5899.html" I added that to both kegs and counter pressured bottled them. tastes spot on for the new holland dragon milk coconut rum (mines more viscous due to the 4 hr boil) http://newhollandbrew.com/our-beer/dragons-milk-reserve-coconutrumbarrel/
Feather in the cap is we traded a single bottle for a 2016 raspberry eisbock (released today http://www.kbrewery.com/) the owners father loves the coconut rum stout so much he let a bottle of this go before release for a trade!
