I came across a few recent blurbs talking about whisky ageing sticks which purport to " be able to replicate the flavours gained from ageing whisky for three years in an oak barrel in just one day".

It may add woody notes to the whisky but i doubt it will make it appear more aged to the educated palate. I would say it is just a gimmick and would be a waste of money whatever they charge for them.
If someone gave me some for free i would perhaps put them in a cheap whisky out of curiosity to see what effect they have but i wouldnt put them in a decent whisky.
