What are Whiskey Kindling wood infusion sticks?
Whiskey Kindling sticks are premium, handcrafted wood infusion sticks designed to transform the flavor profile of whiskey, bourbon, rum, tequila, and other spirits. Simply submerge a stick in your bottle or a Mason jar and let it infuse for 24–48 hours. The recipe combinations are endless — from a common mixing bourbon transformed into something more dynamic, to a top-shelf selection taken into entirely new territory.
What wood varieties are available?
We offer five wood varieties, each carrying its own distinct flavor profile:
- American White Oak — [tasting notes]
- Texas Pecan — [tasting notes]
- Texas Mesquite — [tasting notes]
- Appalachian Black Cherry — [tasting notes]
- Appalachian Alder — [tasting notes]
Which wood pairs best with which spirit?
