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.
