I think they were good. Let me tell you the bag smells great. Made me need a drink lol. Was my first time using chunks rather than chips and they sure smoke longer but i do think not as much smoke. I will know better tomorrow when i smoke a pork butt.

Definitely love the smell of them. Left the bag open in the house for awhile. Lol.
Tomorrow morning im going to be smoking a pork butt using these chunks. Will see how they work. You can bet im gonna have a few drinks while doing this smoke.

I haven't used that kind but I have used the jack Daniels ones in my propane smoker for years and I loved them I would put 2 or 3 at a time and they would give a nice thin blue smoke I prefer them to chips

Where im from (niagara falls, ontario, Canada) smoking meat isnt to big as of right now so hard to find to many different things to use or try. I was happy when I found them. Tried them on smoked moose steaks And I liked the way they smoke.

Never seen scotch barrel chunks before. I've used bourbon barrel chips, and I've even cut up a 50 gallon red wine barrel for smoking chunks, but scotch is a new one. It would start out kind of smokey/peaty, wouldn't it?

Depends where the scotch is made in Scotland, Highland Scotch from the mainland is my fave, Glen Livit, Fiddich etc, Whyte and Macay, J&B blends, Some actually use US. Bourbon barrels to finish. Lowlands use alot of smoke, some too smokie for my taste, Islays, from the Islands, use peat, "La Froig", a good example, I like one good drink on the rocks, but will have to choke the next down. Scotches are very different region to region, as are some American and Canadian bourbons and whiskeys. Personal taste is the key, just like a fine wine. 

Try different Scotches, "But" take the time to find the origin, and the finish.

FYI: There is only one Scotch that is actually recognized outside of Scotland, and it is made on the East coast of Canada, cant remember the name, but have had some.
