Snaol's Tooth

When I was in high school, my friend, Chef D made an experimental batch of sun tea by leaving the tea in a bottle in his back yard for weeks.  The result was a dark gnarly looking liquid.  We were too afraid to try it, but he named it Snaol's Tooth.

In that spirit, I threw together some odds and ends to experiment with the hope that this time it is drinkable.

So let's see what I had laying around...

• A bottle of home aged whiskey from Jonathan, the Whiskey Hoarder of the Western Hemisphere
• A bottle of High West Silver Whiskey

Snoal's Tooth

Ingredients

Made for 5 Liter Barrel

• 750mL of High West Silver Whiskey
• 750mL of St Germain Elderflower Liqueur
• 3.75 Liters of Benjamin Prichard's Lincoln County Lightening

Thoughts

I wanted to add something that would round off the flavor, much like how people will add a touch of honey to a barrel. I chose St Germain, elder flower liqueur. It's sweet and has a distinct floral note. to fill the barrel, I added Prichard's, which is corn based.

I think that the unaged white dog corn and rye will take on the flavor of the St Germain, because pure spirits assume flavors very easily.  With out the aged whiskey, I think the result would have been aged St. Germain.  I look at the aged whiskey as the "seed" whiskey to keep the results as a whiskey.

We shall see!
