About this barrel

The Red Head Barrels 1L distillery grade charred oak aging barrel is for people who want cask-style results at bottle scale. The title calls it "distillery grade," and the charred inside is what gives whiskey and rum their caramel and vanilla depth.

What makes a charred 1L whiskey aging barrel work so fast?

A tiny barrel puts a lot of charred wood in contact with a small amount of spirit. Expect color and flavor changes within days, so taste often so it doesn't get too oaky.

• Fill size: about 1L, slightly more than a 750 ml bottle.
• Spirits: whiskey and rum are named, but the title is cut off, so read the full description for other uses.
• Prep: soak it with water until it's tight before you add alcohol.
• Accessories: the title doesn't mention a stand, spigot or bung. Check the listing.
