They will sit on the fruit for a week then drained back into the main jar then a few tablespoons of sugar will be added to the fruit, macerate for a week then put back into the whiskey, I may do this step twice.
I'm also debating on whether or not to pull the oak now since it has such a strong Whiskey (rough) flavor.

I hope you're not drinking it at 120. That does cell damage which can lead to cancer.
