Product Features
HOW DOES A SMALL 10 LITER OAK AGING BARREL WORK? Due to the high proportion of liquid in contact with the mini wood 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 mini barrel keg and start sampling aged whiskey or wine 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.
PERFECT BARREL AGED COCKTAILS - Extract natural flavor elements from a small charred American oak barrel interior (such as vanilla, sweet spices and coconut ) and infuse them into any cocktail drink The Manhattan, Martini, Negroni, Old Fashioned, Sazerac, Mint Julep and many more.
Thousand Oaks Barrel Co.'s barrels for aging whiskey are made from new white american oak staves, custom charred to a medium-high level for maximum flavor. Also great for Scotch Whisky, Kentucky Bourbon, rum, tequila, wine or mead.
USE FOR MULTIPLE AGING CYCLES - a 2.5 gal (10L) barrel keg can be used for many years and also makes for great bar-restaurant liquor dispenser decor or addition to any man cave liquor cabinet. Unique gifts for any whiskey or bourbon enthusiast. Included One unvarnished 2.5 gallon oak barrel with wooden stand, bung, spigot, funnel and instruction booklet.
Customer Reviews
Have had four good barrels (a 2L and 3 5Ls). Make sure you prep it when you receive it!I see some people complaining about leaky barrels, and I'm sure it happens, but so far we've had no problems at all. I bought the barrel wax, but so far it's completely wasted. Just make sure that when you get it you put the spout in (and make sure it's closed, far left or right), then fill the keg with boiling water and put the top cork in! This is 'tempering' and will make the oak swell to prevent leaks. If it's leaking after a couple hours (when the wood has had time to swell) then it's time to deploy the barrel wax. If that still doesn't work you might have a bad keg (hasn't happened with these for me, cross fingers).Then when you're ready to use it (after at least a day tempering), remove the spout, pop the top cork, then flip it upside down and let it drain from the 'top', just because that has a larger hole. There will be a lot of charred oak shards, which is fine! This just shows your good stuff is in contact with charred wood.If you go a long time before you use it again and the inside dries out, you might consider re-tempering it before you use it.
