- Bottle the mixture. Fill a clean bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid with the whiskey, cinnamon sticks, simple sugar, and whole dried chiles. Stir the contents and seal the bottle.
- Let it sit. Place the bottle in a cool and dark place to marinate for 1 week.
- Taste it. Taste-test the mixture to see if the flavor is strong enough. If not let it continue to sit for another 2 to 3 days.
- Strain. When the whiskey is ready strain it through a fine mesh sieve into another bottle or jar that you plan to store it in. You can also enjoy it neat or use it as a mixer in your favorite bourbon-based beverage.
