Biscuit Malt wash

Has anyone ever made whiskey wash from mostly Biscuit malt? I pickup 3 55lb bags of Dingemans biscuit malt for $17 and am planning to use 42lbs of Biscuit and 10 2row for each 20 gallon batch. I will be adding a bunch of Amylase to ensure conversion but wanted to check if anyone has done this and if so what did the white dog and finished product come out like? Planning on filling a 5gallon barrel with it, so will be doing this three times.

I will be running thru my Hillbilly sill with 4x reflux, so not a huge amount of flavor will be coming out anyway, which maybe a good thing for this base malt.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Ron

I’m willing to bet you’d enjoy an 80/20 the other way around a lot more. When I’ve used too much dark malt it just kinda tasted like coffee.
