Chill bro -- Your words are vibrating with excitement. I've had liquor color up overnight (lightly) and some take forever to start to develop color. It's the flavor(s) profile that will take the time to develop and mature. You're so excited this liquor don't have a chance but you'll have some down the road that you'll leave alone for a spell and you'll appreciate the taste of a year on oak. You better keep a low profile making liquor over there. Dem SOB don't f**k around with "western" vices.
