And you can use everything that you've runso far

[narrator] both scotch and japanese whiskey must be barrel-aged for a minimum of three years. But in the world of the backwoods, rapid-aging is used to speed up the process. Instead of putting the whiskey into charred oak barrels, charred oak chips are placed into the whiskey itself. As the whiskey soaks into the oak chips, the caramelized sugars in the wood impart sweetness, and the carbon in the charred wood filters out tannins and sulfites. The effect is similar to barrel-aging, but in just 24 hours, the result is a matured whiskey with the smooth mellow flavor and a rich brown color. [digger] and you can use everything that you've run

must be barrel-aged for a minimum of three years.
00:00:07.407 --> 00:00:09.474
But in the world of the backwoods,
00:00:09.476 --> 00:00:13.411
rapid-aging is used to speed up the process.
00:00:13.413 --> 00:00:14.712
Instead of putting the whiskey
00:00:14.714 --> 00:00:16.614
into charred oak barrels,
00:00:16.616 --> 00:00:20.485
charred oak chips are placed into the whiskey itself.
00:00:20.487 --> 00:00:23.354
As the whiskey soaks into the oak chips,
00:00:23.356 --> 00:00:26.724
the caramelized sugars in the wood impart sweetness,
00:00:26.726 --> 00:00:28.726
and the carbon in the charred wood
00:00:28.728 --> 00:00:30.928
filters out tannins and sulfites.
00:00:32.998 --> 00:00:34.699
The effect is similar to barrel-aging,
00:00:34.701 --> 00:00:36.567
but in just 24 hours,
00:00:36.569 --> 00:00:39.007
the result is a matured whiskey
00:00:39.003 --> 00:00:43.998
with the smooth mellow flavor and a rich brown color.
00:00:43.001 --> 00:00:44.308

00:00:44.031 --> 00:00:46.577
