Shelf Life of Soaked Oak Chips

[GHawk]

I have about an ounce of oak chips soaked in a hopsack wet with whiskey. It's been sealed in a mason jar sitting in the pantry for a couple of years. It's not submerged at all. Just very wet.
I have a Porter ready for these chips if possible.

Use 'em
or
Toss 'em

Use 'em.
Whiskey sits in oak barrels for many years.
Then they sell those barrels for beer.
And alcohol at those proofs are a great preservative.
