I got my barrel all cleaned out. I was worried about losing the charred wood flavor and didn’t want to burn it again after only one use(and a few months of drying out then cleaning). So I did the whole cleaning process then ran my cold air smoker in it a little bit to add some smoke flavor. I used the euro malt whisky essence it came with and mixed that with moonshine. Threw in a few brown sugar cubes, orange bitters, and syrup from maraschino cherries.
I also just ordered a few more better whisky essene options for the next batch. After those I might just pour cheap whisky in and see how that tastes after a few weeks, but I don’t want to let it dry out again.
