It looks like this guy did some aging on cherry wood:

I’ve purchased variety packs of honeycomb wood from Black Swan in MN http://www.blackswanbarrels.com/shop I have used their Cherry to flavor in glass jars. Personally, I am a white oak medium charred barrel aged connoisseur myself. That said, these woods (cherry specifically) will give fantastic color in short order (6-8 weeks), good taste and apparently not enough toxicity to kill me. Without doubt, there is a difference between distillate in wood, vs wood in the distillate. Cherry does provide good taste, and won’t kill you. Hard maple was actually excellent.
