Preparation

Prepare Oak Chips
Start by soaking the oak chips in water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to prevent them from burning when you toast them.

Toast Oak Chips
After soaking, drain the oak chips and spread them on a baking sheet. Toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Combine Ingredients
In a large jar or mixing container, add the rye whiskey, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters. Once the oak chips are toasted and cooled, add them to the mixture.

Infuse the Whiskey
Seal the container tightly and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5-7 days. Shake the container gently every day to ensure even infusion.

Strain the Mixture
After the infusion period, strain the whiskey mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle to remove the oak chips.
