5L Oak Aging Barrel for Whiskey, Wine, Rum & Scotch - Charred American Oak

About this barrel

Whiskey, wine, rum and scotch all gain depth in a 5L oak aging barrel. This new one is made of charred American oak, the type of oak used for bourbon. Five liters is a sweet spot: fast enough that you'll taste changes within a few weeks, and big enough to hold several bottles.

Why choose a 5L charred American oak barrel?

Small barrels give each ounce more contact with the wood, so they age quickly. The char adds caramel and vanilla notes and softens harsh edges.

• Before first use: soak it with water until it stops leaking.
• Char level: not listed. Ask the seller if you want a light or heavy char.
• Reuse: after spirits, give it a second life with a batch of cocktails or hot sauce.
• Price: $180.49, new.
