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

About this barrel

A 1L charred oak aging barrel is the quickest way to see what wood does to a spirit, and this one is listed as distillery grade for whiskey and wine. At one liter, there's a lot of wood surface for the amount of liquid, so color and flavor build much faster than in a big cask. Plan to taste often instead of waiting months.

How do you prep a mini charred oak barrel before filling?

Fill it with water and let the staves swell until the seeping stops, which usually takes a day or more. Then drain it and add your spirit.

• Taste weekly: small barrels can over-oak a spirit quickly.
• Char level: the listing says charred. Check the description for the exact level.
• Fill choices: white whiskey, rum or a red wine are easy first batches.
• Condition: listed as new by an independent eBay seller.
