So the original idea was to brew a full-blown imperial, but kinda stepped back. Juniper was bought from Brewer's Best; oak will be american light toast soaked in Jamisson for 3 months.

Fermentables
9.9lb Briess Rye LME

Steep for 30 minutes:
2lb Briess Cherry Wood Smoked Malt
1lb Weyermann Smoked Wheat Malt
1lb Roasted Barley
1lb Biscuit

Boil
40: 1oz UK Fuggles
20: 1oz UK Fuggles
15: 1oz UK Fuggles, 1oz Juniper, 1 Whirlfloc Tablet
10: 1oz UK Fuggles
5: 1oz UK Fuggles
0: 1oz Juniper

Yeast
WLP028 Edinburgh Scottish Ale Yeast (2 vials)

Primary
Estimated 2 weeks, but will be doing hydrometer tests.

Secondary
1 month: 2oz Juniper, 4oz Jamisson Soaked Oak


Need to calculate how much priming sugar to use for bottling still. Estimates on BrewToad say 33 IBUs, 7% abv @ 72.5% attenuation, 1.073 OG 1.020 FG.

Obviously some other bitterness will come from the juniper, but unsure how to measure that.
 
Any updates on how this turned out? In particular, how much juniper came through?
