Templeton Rye 5 Liter Whiskey Wooden Barrel with Spigot & Stand

About this barrel

A 5 liter whiskey barrel is a handy size for home experiments, and this one comes with a spigot and stand. The Templeton Rye branded oak barrel is listed used at $49.00.

Is a 5 liter whiskey barrel enough for aging at home?

It is small enough to work with, and smaller barrels age faster than large ones, so the spirit picks up oak character sooner. Taste along the way rather than guessing at a finish date.

• Fill with water first to swell the staves and test the spigot for drips.
• Ask the seller what the barrel held, since it is used.
• Check the photos for the stand, the spigot and the condition of the wood.
• Plan the batch size around 5 liters so the barrel stays full, which limits air contact.
