A little smoky, otherwise rather smooth.  10 years old.  Glad to help out the brothers and sisters in Kentucky.

The recipes I've found have a wide variety of lengths of time to steep (24 hours to 3 weeks), so I decided to take a taste this evening, after 2 days. It's pretty tasty. Added a small handful of black peppercorns, and plan on adding a bay leaf and some lavender closer to when I'm going to decant it.

When I do this, I think I'll go with Juniper, Anise or Fennel, Cardamom and Grapefruit. And Lime. I'm also going to dig out the brita filter and run cheap vodka thru it to see if it really improves.

I’m thinking that I might throw a little lavender in toward the end of the 3 week steeping period.

Yep. Simple for a first try. Juniper, lemon peel, vodka.

What all is in there? Lots of juniper... Lemon rind?

Where could it ever go bad, except in a storage setting?
Beer is made to drink, not to be cold-stored forever.
Unbelievably, brewers in my region made headlines, "having to dispose of" thousands of metal barrels of beer, due to bars being locked down for months. They well could have given it away for charity, instead, rather than complaining about their disposal-costs, these mobsters!

Imo, EU-imposed expiration dates were probably more responsible for this dilemma. - Smh...

The old brown bottles were better at keeping light from making the beer go bad
