Thanks! I'll ditch the fatwood. Too much resin makes sense for why the taste was so sooty and tar-like. I like the idea of smoking the syrup. Will give that a whirl.

Help me out, folks. Just got a smoking gun and tried a smoked manhattan. I used a few slivers of fatwood and let the liquor smoke for about four minutes. It was completely undrinkable. Tasted like pure tar. What'd I do wrong and what should I do differently? Different wood? Less smoke time...
