BHDD 1.5L Wine Red Oak Barrel

About this barrel

A 1.5L oak aging barrel is about as small as barrels get, which makes the BHDD red oak model a fit for tiny experiments. It is listed as new at $75.85 by an independent eBay seller.

Does a 1.5 liter barrel age spirits quickly?

Yes, that is the appeal. A smaller barrel has more wood surface compared to the liquid inside, so flavor from the oak develops faster than in a full-size cask. That also means tasting often so a batch does not turn over-oaked.

• Capacity: 1.5L, enough for a small bottle-sized batch.
• Wood: listed as oak, with red oak in the title.
• Prep: new barrels are usually swelled with water before filling, so check the listing for the seller's instructions.
• Check: confirm char level and whether a stand or spigot comes with it.
