A little maple smoke added to my house bourbon. Five minutes on the bourbon is all you need.

[Spinaker]

Whoa guy!! That is awesome.

[DWCowles]

How was it?

[Attjack]

It's delicious. Very much worthwhile.

[Mr. Bones]

Mondo cool!
I can see which bourbon; mind if I asked which wood(s) ya used?

[Mr. Bones]

Tiny lil' thingamajigger, that smoker...

Please, tell me more, good sir... I don't get out much.
Does it burn pellets? seems most likely/logical, based upon its size...
I very much want to smoke some cheese, an' other cold smokes...
Th' weather is already conducive to such, hereabouts, especially overnight.

Fer me:
Now, an' only Now...
Add bourbon into th' mix.

I used maple for this bourbon. Seemed like good fit. I'm curious what would you use? I've only burned wood chips in this thing. I cut the chips up into little slivers.

What sort of equipment do you use to cold smoke cheese?

[Mr. Bones]

Maple oughta be delicious in that bourbon

[Attjack]

I did a quick search and it look like it would be easy to cold smoke on my Weber. I'm going to make that happen. I want to smoke a nice mozzarella.

What sort of Gizmo is this? I'm interested but haven't a clue what I'm looking at.

[Mr. Bones]

Can this be used with pellets, instead of chips?

If so, I'd be down with the contraption...

Gots me some Sweet pellets, but no pellet pooper!

[JCGrill]

Mr. Bones alternative is the AmazenTube or something similar. That uses pellets. I haven't done cheese yet, but it's on the list as temps drop outside.

[Mr. Bones]

Yup, cheese is definitely my primary objective to cold smoke!
Like ya said, I gotta wait fer th' ambient to get summat lower, hereabouts....

Attjack, can you elaborate on your technique some more, in case anyone wanted to try this? Stir it half way through, leave it be for the whole 5 mins, use a whole fifth of bourbon, etc?? After tasting would you recommend any other changes?

Thanks!

[Spinaker]

This is gonna get interesting.

[Mr. Bones]

Oh, yeah...

I should probably start using a set amount of whisky and keeping a log so can get a consistent result.

This batch came out perfect.

I used the decanter to get more surface area. But I didn't stir it. I timed it for 5 minutes because I've over smoked a Manhattan in the past.

This was the first time I used maple. I think that was a good choice. But maybe I should do some side by side taste testing in the future. Perhaps I'll do that next weekend. I've used oak in the past.

[choffert]

So... it doesn't bubble thru the bourbon, just floats (?) on top?

[Attjack]

Correct. It is not a bong. You can definitely oversmoke a liquid. I think if it was bubbling in there that might happen.

Now you can also use it to smoke herbs like rosemary or thyme. So maybe you smoked some meat, and then once it's off the grill you could introduce a secondary smoke flavor. I have yet to do this but it's on my list of things to try,

[shify]

Looks cool. I've had cocktails where the bartender lights a sprig of rosemary on fire and then covers it with an upside-down cocktail glass for a few minutes prior to pouring the cocktail. Was great and would be cool to try at home.

[Huskee]

Awesome! What a cool post.

[Attjack]

I'm about to make a few batches for gifts. I took a bottle up to my sister's cabin. Even the non whisky drinkers liked it.
