Small Whiskey Barrels, Miniature Whisky Casks & Small Oak Barrels & Kegs

These charred mini oak barrels are a great way to quickly mellow, flavour and colour your whiskey, spirits, distillates and liquors whilst embellish any cellar, bar, restaurant or home. These small oak barrels currently come in a rustic dark finish and brass rings and can be fitted with a brass tap to make an outstanding dispenser.

CAUTION: It must be kept in mind that the smaller the barrel size, the higher is the inner surface area ratio to the contents get, which basically means that the smaller the barrel, the faster the whiskey contents will mature. Therefore it is advised that any whisky or liquor stored in such small wooden casks is regularly checked to avoid over tanning. Initially, spirits or liquors held in such small barrels should be tasted daily or every two days to make sure that the oakening levels are the ones you desire.

Over time and usage, the tannin levels of the small oak casks would get lower however if you would like to quickly and significantly reduce their tanning infusion all you have to do is that is fill the casks with cold or warm water and empty them after a few hours. This procedure can be repeated as many times as you feel it is required to reach the desired level of tannins imparted from such small barrels.
