More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Have you ever wanted to make a true whiskey barrel stout, or an oak aged barleywine? We now have 5 gallon American Oak whiskey barrels from a leading craft distillery. These impart a deep whisky/bourbon-oak flavor and are perfect for aging your strong ales, and also ideal for sour ales. These are once used barrels which have stored premium craft whiskey or bourbon for at least 3 years before being drained.

These quality barrels were crafted in Minnesota by The Barrel Mill and have a Char level of 3. They come with either a wooden bung or a plastic bung, and also fit a #9 Stopper (not included) if you want to use these with an airlock (see at right).

These held Kings County Distilling Bourbon and Single Malt Whiskey, from 2014 to late February 2019 when they were dumped. They first held Bourbon for a couple years, then were dumped and refilled with Single Malt for another year or two. For more on the Kings County Distillery and their bourbon and whiskey, click HERE.

The pictured wood stand is optional, see a suitable stand at right.

NOTE: Pricing is for 1 barrel, three are shown to show you how they vary in appearance.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Note that wood barrels are imperfect, and may leak when initially filled, particularly if they are not filled within two weeks of receiving. We do not guarantee against leakage, but leaking barrels can be repaired by rehydration or wood plugs, check YouTube for instructional videos. Always fill a barrel with water and leave for 24 hours before use to check for leaks.
