[jeremy] rapid aging applejack involves steeping with charred oak chips. As the chips sit in the jack, the caramelized sugars in the wood impart sweetness and enhance the apple flavors. And the carbon in the charred wood filters out tannins and sulphites. The effect is similar to barrel ageing, except the greater surface area of the oak chips speeds up the process. Resulting in a richer, deeper flavored applejack in a fraction of the time. [tim] you can mess it up

[jeremy] rapid aging
applejack
00:00:02.902 --> 00:00:05.803
involves steeping
with charred oak chips.
00:00:05.805 --> 00:00:08.038
As the chips sit in the jack,
00:00:08.999 --> 00:00:10.207
the caramelized sugars
in the wood
00:00:10.209 --> 00:00:11.542
impart sweetness
00:00:11.544 --> 00:00:13.844
and enhance the apple flavors.
00:00:13.846 --> 00:00:15.746
And the carbon
in the charred wood
00:00:15.748 --> 00:00:18.649
filters out tannins
and sulphites.
00:00:18.651 --> 00:00:21.786
The effect is similar
to barrel ageing,
00:00:21.788 --> 00:00:24.622
except the greater
surface area of the oak chips
00:00:24.624 --> 00:00:26.857
speeds up the process.
00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:30.001
Resulting in a richer,
deeper flavored applejack
00:00:30.029 --> 00:00:32.003
in a fraction of the time.
