Small Brass Hooped barrels Charred for Whiskey Maturation
ABOVE: A 3 liter small whiskey cask in style 3 finish [ natural oak finish with 4 brass hoops ] on stand with oak bung and a spigot brass tap.
Besides being highly decorative, our Style 3 mini oak barrels are charred on their inside thus making them particularly good at mellowing whiskey quickly.
Style 4 and Style 6 miniature barrels are neither charred nor toasted inside and therefore impart less strong tannins but are equally good at maturing and dispensing wines, distillates and liquor.
All the above small barrels and casks come with brass hoops and are typically fitted with matching brass taps or spouts.
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.
