HAMMER + AXE: The Man’s Shop WOOD WHISKEY BARREL, Holds 800ML / 27 Fluid Oz.

About this barrel

The Hammer + Axe wood whiskey barrel holds 800ml, or 27 fluid ounces, which makes it a mini barrel. This one is listed as open box, so the packaging has been opened. At under a liter, it's the right size for aging a single bottle of whiskey, finishing a batch of Manhattans or flavoring a little homemade vinegar.

What can you age in the Hammer + Axe 800ml whiskey barrel?

Popular choices are whiskey, rum, tequila and pre-mixed spirit-forward cocktails. Because the barrel is small, oak flavor builds fast, so a short rest goes a long way.

• Prep: fill it with water and wait until the leaks stop before adding spirits.
• Taste often: start sampling after a few days.
• Open box: check the listing to see which accessories are included.
• Interior: the char level isn't listed, so ask the seller.
