Sized at 7″x 6″ the 2- liter barrel is our best seller! Our 2L whiskey barrel is just the right size to fit comfortably on a kitchen counter or be displayed proudly in a home bar. Handcrafted by a multi-generational team of master coopers these sturdy barrels are made of 100% American White Oak. Because these craftsmen follow exacting standards, sanding and tapering the wood, our barrels are made without any nails or glue that can interfere with the taste of your custom blend. The barrels are medium charred and lend a delicious caramel character to any whiskey, tequila, gin, wine or beer stored in them. Many repeat customers buy our 2-liter barrels to age multiple batches of their favorite liquors at the same time or give them as gifts. They say the essence of sweet vanilla imparted by the medium char gives even bottom shelf liquors the signature taste that is so recognizable in premium and reserve blends ? all at a fraction of the cost. Using the barrel alone, you can turn an average priced liquor into a top shelf version of itself. Our flavoring kits allow neutral flavored liquors such as vodka to be flavored to taste like whiskey, rum or any other flavor you desire. Each 2Liter barrel will hold the contents of one 1.75L bottle of spirits and produce 67 one-ounce shots. Every oak aging barrel comes with a wooden spigot, a bung, a stand and a medium char.

My whole experience with Red Head Oak Barrels was superior. I bought a barrel for my husband birthday. I called in with questions and was given the Information I needed and help in ordering my barrel. My barrel arrived in excellent condition and the engraving was spot on. It took 24 hours to seal and he used it right away. We have been aging for about a month and the taste is already delicious and smooth. I told all of my family and friends about the company. Get you will not be disappointed.

First barrel purchase. Followed the curing instructions and everything worked out great. Don’t rush the curing process. Aging a Manhattan in it currently. Looking forward to enjoying the finished product.

I purchased this barrel for my husband for Christmas and he loves it! He aged a whiskey first for a little over a week and it turned out great. We will likely purchase more barrels in the future. The barrel arrived incredibly quickly and the company has been very communicative.

I gave this to an employee as a gift. The personalized laser engraving was really nicely done. He seasoned it as directed then aged some decent red wine for two weeks in it. It made that wine really good, though two weeks was the limit for that new barrel…any longer would have been too much oak. After the wine, he put an unarmed whiskey and is now on the second week with it.
Overall, a really good quality product and seems to be a great way to quickly improve wine or spirits.

Bought this as a gift for my parents who operate a wine vineyard in Central California. Had it custom engraved. They loved it. My dad commented on how nice the barrel looked. As they cannot get a hold of grain alcohol in any of their liquor stores, they filled it up with vodka.
Great gift, great conversation piece and fits in very well with country style decor or on a bar. I would def. buy again. Steve was great to work with, responded fast during my design work and shipped out pronto.
