1L Distillery Grade Charred Oak Aging Barrel for Whiskey, Rum & Wine

About this barrel

The title of this 1L distillery grade charred oak aging barrel names whiskey, rum and wine, so this little cask is good for experimenting. It's sold new at $96.11.

Can you age wine in a 1 liter charred oak barrel?

You can, but go easy. The char and the small size add oak flavor quickly, so wine usually needs only a few days in the barrel. Spirits can stay in longer.

• Rotation idea: age a rum first, then fill with whiskey to pick up the leftover rum notes.
• Curing: fill it with water and let it swell until it stops dripping.
• Between batches: refill it soon or keep it damp so it doesn't dry out.
• Details to confirm: whether a stand and spigot are included, and the char level, in the item specifics.

It's a low-commitment way to learn how oak changes different drinks before you buy a bigger barrel.
