Any Aussies here that have aged their spirits in jarrah chips? I was thinking of shaving up some dry Jarrah and toasting them under the grill for a minute and see how it goes? just wondering if anyone has had this idea and gone ahead with it?
cheers

Re: West Australian Jarrah
I'll agree with Crow on this one. French and American Oak have been used for centuries for a reason.
They give the best flavours and don't have any toxic qualities.
A few woods from fruit trees are also suitable for ageing.
