5L/1.32Gal Aging Barrel Wooden Whiskey Barrel Bourbon Wine Barrel Home

About this barrel

Here is a 5 liter wooden whiskey barrel made of oak, listed new for $31.95 by an independent eBay seller. At 5.0 liters (1.32 gallons) it is a small aging cask for bourbon, whiskey or wine made at home.

Is a 5 liter barrel big enough for home aging?

For a small batch, yes. A compact barrel ages liquid faster than a large one because more of it touches the oak, so it rewards frequent tasting. It is also a modest-size piece you can display on a shelf.

• Rinse and swell the barrel with water before the first fill.
• Check the listing for char level and whether a stand, spigot or bung is included.
• Keep it filled once you start aging so the wood stays moist.
• Backed by the eBay Money Back Guarantee.
