Description
Smoking chips of whiskey cocktails-mostly from the kiln-dried wood-add another degree of flavor.
Usually, it is usually treated with whiskey aroma like Kentucky Bourbon, Jack Daniels BBQ, Makers Mark that will give these chips the specific flavor for the enhancement of a cocktail with a smoky rich taste.
Kiln-Dried Hardwood Chips:
These chips have been kiln-dried in order to be ready for smoking without additional moisture, which can lead to the chips burning in undesirable ways and producing bad flavors.
Generally, the kinds of hardwood used produce a very well-balanced and mellow smoke flavor that pairs quite nicely with whiskey.
– **Kentucky Bourbon Smoked**:
Oak infused with a Kentucky Bourbon smoking variety will impart deep caramel, vanillin, and rich oak, complementing strong, sweet flavors typical of bourbon whiskey.
– **Jack Daniels BBQ**: Chips steeped in Jack Daniels BBQ flavors will introduce smoky, savory elements that add complexity to cocktails, especially those with a deeper, bolder flavor profile.
This type of infusion is perfect for smoky Old Fashioneds or a twist on a classic Manhattan.
Makers Mark:
Sweet and soft oakiness, the Makers Mark wood chips add subtle, smooth smoky notes that heighten the character of cocktails like Whiskey Sours or even a simple Makers Mark neat served with a hint of smoke.
These chips can be used either in a smoking gun or smoker box to add a subtle note of smokiness to balance the flavor profiles of whiskey-based cocktails.
