1 Liter Whiskey Infused Barrel
These are actually new white American charred oak barrels that have been pre-cured with Whiskey, Bourbon or Scotch. You receive the 1 liter size. That’s right. There is a cup (or more) of fresh Whiskey, Bourbon or Scotch already soaked in to the wood of these barrels. Now you can start aging your new batch in an authentic flavor infused barrel.
NOTE – You will need to fill the barrel with your alcohol as soon as you receive it so it doesn’t dry out. Once an infused barrel dries out it may not seal up again. These barrels take an extra 2-3 days before shipping.
Each infused barrel comes with a stand, bung and spigot.

Description
Why would anyone want to purchase Whiskey, Bourbon & Scotch Flavor Infused Barrels?
- The barrel is already cured and ready to use. Just pour your liquor in and start aging.
- If you want to age your own whiskey now you don’t have to worry about the barrel soaking up your liquor during the curing stage. (higher drinking yield) The small barrel size provides a greater surface area to volume ratio (more wood in contact with liquid) which results in increased extraction.
- If you are making a bootleg batch of whiskey using our essence (bootleg) it tastes better when you can age it in a used whiskey barrel since it will pull the flavors in from the wood.
- You may want to age something else in your used whiskey barrel. Have you ever tasted tequila, rum or scotch aged in a used whiskey barrel? If not then you don’t know what you are missing. A lot of homebrewers are looking for used whiskey barrels so they can age their beer in them nowadays. You don’t have to purchase two different liquors – one to cure and flavor the barrel and one to age.? The barrel will come pre-flavored.
Before now if you wanted a used whiskey barrel you could only get a full size 53 gallon barrel.? That’s okay if you are a distillery or want to use it as furniture. Try filling one of those full size barrels with your liquor to age. Too expensive.? Now you can get a small used whiskey barrel that you can actually use.
These barrels are guaranteed to hold your liquor and not leak. We empty the whiskey out of the barrel right before we send it to you. It will not dry out enough in just the few days for shipping to be a problem. Just make sure you fill it with your whiskey or liquor within 2 days after receiving it.
NOTE – You will need to fill the barrel with your alcohol (or distilled water if you are not ready) as soon as you receive it so it doesn’t dry out.? Once a used?whiskey barrel dries out it may not cure up.

I am pleased thus far with my purchase. The item arrived well-packaged and I was excited to use it. I wasn’t sure where to fill it so I contacted customer support, and they answered me right away! I am 3 weeks into my first aging and have already seen a color change. The flavor is maturing as well. I plan to purchase another soon.

I am on my first batch, and it is aging well. The color is changing and the flavor is mellowing out after 3 weeks. Well made, very well packaged and am happy with the purchase.

High quality product. I have given several as gifts and the recipients were extremely happy.

Great product (no leaks) and even better customer service! After I put in my order, the team reached out to me directly for some additional clarification on delivery timelines before Christmas. I would definitely recommend Redhead!

So far so good!
I’m still new to barrel aging but Red Head Barrels pre seasoned barrel made it very easy to get started. I had been given a 2L barrel from another company as a gift and I had continuous issues with it leaking. After giving up on that one I decided to give the pre seasoned barrel a try. Once it arrived I put my old fashioned cocktail inside and was happily waiting for the results! Sadly I went to check on it two days in and noticed it had a small leak. I reached out to Red Head for help and they quickly sent out a new spout to replace the faulty one, at no extra charge! I replaced it and the leaking stopped and I haven’t had any issues with it since. I’m very happy with it and can’t wait to pull my first barrel aged cocktail from the barrel this weekend!

Steve,
The pre seasoned barrels have been filled with a corn Vodka and a Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
The barrels are holding up well and did not leak a drop even after sitting empty for a month. (Barrels were a gift for myself and I am grateful they didn’t dry before I opened the gift and was able to fill them)
I have not sealed the un seasoned barrel so I can only speak of its appearance and craftsmanship. Both appear to be of very high quality. I haven’t decided what to oak, but will let you know how it works out when I do decide to fill it.
I have been out of town so I have not been able to taste the spirits that have been in the barrels.
Regards,
Nathan

I purchased a 1 liter used oak barrel as a gift for a home bar of a family member. They loved the barrel and will be placing it right on top of the bar. They already have some bourbon whiskey aging in the barrel. Shipping was timely and packaging was excellent. I think I may pick up a 5L new barrel to further age some whiskey in. This is a very fun product line! Thank you, Tanner

Great product with fast shipping. The barrel is very well built and has great seasoning. I’m aging some bourbon and am looking forward to the final product.
Thank you,
Blaine

I am running a whisky Bar at Kobe Japan.
Last month, I received Cool 3 liter used Barrel. And into whisky soon, with no leak.
Cool, Perfect! Now I contain a whisky Ballantine 12yo. My regular customer and I try it after 2 weeks.
That change great vintage whisky. It seems to taste like a 20 y/o now.
I’d probably just get the used whisky 3 liter barrel too next time.
My friend wants 1 liter used Barrel. No RedHead Barrel, No whisky Life in my Bar!
Thanks Steve

Have successfully tried my first 1 liter barrel and so happy with results I am ordering a 3 liter. Both are the pre-aged and when I received h first it still had liquid in it so did not dry out. Friends have also enjoyed the experience and will be ordering from you soon.
Thanks much! Clarke

Everything has been working well. I’m now on my 3rd batch of barrel-aged cocktails and have gotten two friends interested in this as well, so you may see a couple more 1 l barrels ordered from San Francisco
I purchased the used whiskey barrel to make it easier, but now that I’m familiar with how everything works, I’d probably just get the new oak barrel next time. It was 6 days before the pre-cured one arrived, so it may have started to dry out a little.
Thanks, Dave
