Stop in for a drink.
When I did this years ago, I liked the 3 parts maple, one part cherry and 1/2 part oak best. I added them in reverse order every 3 days and ended the experiment at 21 days.
It was part of a study I was conducting for a friend with a boutique vodka business in K.C. looking to create different flavored vodka products. He took the test batches (concentrates) and diluted them in multiple ratios to get different subtly flavored vodkas that he could market.
I also did a cinnamon flavored one for him that had a touch of wintergreen that I called “fire and ice”. The mouth feel starts off hot with the cinnamon and then follows cool with the wintergreen...finished with the slow warmth of the alcohol.
It did well in limited test marketing, but he never pursued it further. They were too small to branch out into specialty products that far.
I even did a marketing image for him to go with it.
If you want to have a bit more fun, expand the experiment and try it with toasted cherry chips or (my favorite) toasted maple chips. Then try it with combinations of the 3 in different ratios once you taste each one individually.
