HOW DOES A SMALL 1 GALLON OAK AGING BARREL WORK? Due to the high proportion of liquid in contact with the toasted mini wooden barrel interior, spirits age 10x faster than larger, a commercial sized whiskey bourbon barrel, giving a balanced and aged flavor to alcohol in weeks rather than years.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS on how to cure your handcrafted 1 gal oak barrel (5 liter) and start sampling aged whiskey after just a few days. If desired, add a Swish Barrel Essence Flavoring (not included) and in two weeks, your one-of-a-kind liquor blend will be aged to perfection and ready to serve straight from the tap. Pour into a liquor decanter to stop the aging process.
PERSONALIZE YOUR MINI BOURBON BARRELS – Write a name, batch number, barrel date, alc. proof or tasting note directly onto the barrel head chalkboard face.
Our oak barrels for aging whiskey are made from new American staves, charred to a medium-high level for maximum flavor. Extract natural flavors from the oak interior (vanilla and sweet spices) and infuse into a classic cocktail the Negroni, Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Martini or Whiskey Sour.
USE FOR MULTIPLE AGING CYCLES - a 1 gallon barrel keg can be used for many years and makes for great bar-restaurant liquor dispenser or addition to any man cave liquor cabinet. Unique gift for any whiskey or bourbon enthusiast. Included one oak barrel with wooden stand, bung, spigot, funnel and instruction booklet.
