27. No doubt!

now, when I aged mine, I was checking it out every week or two, and kept a little bit of a photo-journal on my facebook..here's some of the shots:
One week in the barrel:


Two weeks:


Three:


Skipped a week, so after 5 weeks:


Then, I just let it go for the final 8 weeks or so:


The taste differences were pretty noticeable, even for my kinda crappy palate lol. Definitely started out heavy on the grain, but almost immediately, vanilla and cinnamon were noticeable. And, the barrel is reusable, so I'm thinking of maybe making a big batch of cayenne hot sauce and aging it in there, to see fi it picks up some of the whiskey's sweetness and the barrel's smoke.
