Hokkaido Mizunara Oak Whisky Aging Barrel 3L Japanese Medium Char Mini Cask

About this barrel

Want to try Japanese oak without committing to a large cask? This 3L Hokkaido Mizunara oak whisky aging barrel with a medium char is about as small as aging barrels get. An independent eBay seller lists it as new at $550.

Is a 3 liter Mizunara whisky barrel too small?

Not for experimenting. A mini cask works fast, so a few bottles can take on Mizunara character, often within weeks. Start tasting early so the oak doesn't take over.

• Fill: Four standard 750ml bottles add up to 3 liters.
• Prep: Swell it with water until it stops leaking, then empty it and add your spirit.
• Reuse: Later fills pick up oak more gently, which is good for longer rests.
• Confirm: Check the listing for whether a stand, tap or other accessories are included.
