We Tried This Whiskey-Enhancing Stick of Wood So You Don't Have To
Time and Oak is a Portland-based startup with a fanciful idea. Their one and only product is a stick. Not just any stick but a laser-etched hunk of charred wood with maximal surface area that, when added to any whiskey, is supposed to enhance its flavor. More specifically, it's designed to filter out hangover-causing methoxy-phenyl-oxime and acetaldehyde while making the whiskey age years in mere hours. In Time and Oak's own words, these little gadgets will "give you top shelf taste in 24 hours." They're called Whiskey Elements, and you can find them on Kickstarter.
