Signature Element

Introducing Whiskey Elements by Time & Oak, the oak stave that is the answer to all of life’s biggest questions.  Well, maybe that is an overstatement, but to downplay the Whiskey Element in the least would be to deprive yourself of great barrel-aged product without waiting years to enjoy it.

Simply drop an Element into a fifth of whiskey (or rum, or tequila, or bourbon, or scotch, or even soy sauce) and let sit for 24-72 hours.  Stir occasionally for best results.  After 24 hours, taste the product periodically to avoid over-aging—the longer you leave the Element, the deeper the color and woodier the flavor.  When you are satisfied with the outcome, remove the Element by pouring the liquid into a decanter.

Barrel-aged cocktails are a big trend in bars and restaurants, and bartenders around the country are using this method to create cocktails that are richer, better rounded, and just plain delicious.  For example, the classic Manhattan uses 2 parts whiskey, 1 part sweet vermouth, a couple of dashes of bitters, orange peel, and a cherry.  Barrel aging would require a bar tender to pour the ingredients for several of the drinks and age them together for 5-6 weeks.  With Time & Oak Whiskey Elements, though,  creating stylish libations has never been easier:  simply combine ingredients, drop in the element, “age” for 24-72 hours, and then enjoy.  Less time required to enhance the flavor of your favorite cocktails can in turn enhance your profits.

Houston’s is now carrying the Whiskey Element by Time & Oak.  The Elements come in a carded package of two, perfect for storing in your bar or restaurant for convenient use, or for retail sales.  The two-pack also makes a great holiday gift!  How will you use your Whiskey Element?  The possibilities are endless!
