    Smoking Whiskey?

    Anyone every smoke their drink? I have a WSM and am interested if anyone has use it to try and make an overly complex drink

    Who doesn’t love the spectacle of watching a cocktail smoker box waft aromatic smoke around their carefully crafted drink?

    I have not done this, but you could try it using a smoking tube in your cooker.

      I do this regularly, but without my smoker or an overpriced box ;-)

          Why I consider that to be bloody genius

        I think a true "smoked" whiskey or such would be made from a mash that consists at least partially of a smoked grain of some sort. For example, for breweries one such ingredient is smoked malted barley, used in producing smoked beer profiles.

          Add an unexpected twist to your bourbon, Bloody Marys, and cocktails with this simple recipe for smoked ice. While it sounds like a challenge, creating smoked ice couldn't be easier, requiring nothing more then some wood, a grill, and ice. The end result is a smoky BBQ addition to virtually any cold drink.

            Yeah, I like to smoke whiskey, tequila, and cocktails in general.

              Tryin to learn; that smoked BT was a real game changer, seekin to engage in this sort of unruly, delicious behaviour!

              Mr. Bones I think that smoked buffalo was the oldest anyone I know has ever tasted. Mine never lasts long. But if that works maybe should try setting a bottle aside once in awhile.

                I cain't imagine ya not likin th results of smoke-infused whiskey, either way.

              I've never smoked my own but might try it sometime. The smokiest whiskey I've ever had was from Balcones Distillery in Waco, Tx - their Brimstone. The grains are smoked with local scrub oak. You either like it or hate it. I like it but it is similar to licking the inside of a BBQ pit.

              I made a smoked porter one time. I had a 55 pound sack of smoked malt, and I like porters and stouts, and I like BBQ, so makes sense, right?. It ended up being one of the few kegs of beer I’ve ever dumped out down the driveway. Even 15% of the grain bill as smoked malt resulted in a beer that had so many phenolic compounds that rather than smoke, it tasted like that aroma you get when you sniff a plastic bandaid. Horrible. I gave the rest of the smoked malt to a guy who was supposed to turn it into scotch. I was going to make a peanut butter porter too one time, until I tasted a horrible commercial example from a brewery in Birmingham. Now I keep stuff like that out of my beers....

                With smoked beers less is definitely more. Most of my 5 gallon recipes only call for about 1/4 - 1/2 lb of the smoked malt Rausch malt) - 1/2 lb is really a lot. Most professionals that I've talked with advise avoiding the peat-smoked malt altogether. Note - I brew extract with specialty grains.

                58limited I brew all grain, and this was 3 pounds of smoked malt in about a 14 pound grain bill, so way way too high a percentage. It was a learning experience, if nothing else! I just found the recipe in BeerSmith and my notes say "Most horrible beer ever. Smoked malt resulted in plastic bandaid taste. PHENOLIC! Dumped keg down the drain." Live and learn, eh?

              Milk Street magazine had an article about this. I remember the method was to light the end of a cinnamon stick, put it on a plate then place the glass on top. Can't remember how long though.

              Or you could just drink Laphroaig scotch, tastes like liquid smoke.

                Might be worth a try...
                We usedta freeze whiskey glasses, then very gently shotgun em full....
                Tip em back slowly, enjoy.
                Kinda still makes more sense than th cinnamon stick, actually!

              Using your WSM I would think it would get too warm and vaporize the alcohol. Cold smoke only.
