After five months of bottle maturation with the aid of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey cask wood chips, the Vodsky Experiment has finally come to an end.

It’s been just over two months now that I launched my Turning Vodka Into Whisky experiment. I am sure some of you will have already wondered what happened to the bottle.
