    Spirals that were boiled and then soaked in bourbon for a couple months.

    I've never used spirals, but from what I have read they take the longest to impact flavor. At this point, I would go with my earlier suggestion and let it ride, you are likelier to do more harm with the marbles or racking again. Good luck and please update down the road.

    RDWHAHB. Bottle when the flavor has developed into something you like. RDWHAHB.

    Not sure of where you've read, but spirals have a ton of surface area so they work pretty quick..

    cubes or a barrel are your best bets for longer aging.. Then spirals and then chips.

    Interesting, I was positive that I have read quickest to longest was chips then cubes then spirals. But thinking of the pictures I have seen of spirals, I can see that there should be a ton of surface area.

    I have spirals, and cubes, and barrels.

    I'd rate Barrel>>>>Cubes>>>>Spirals>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Chips in order of best results.
