Now you can make your own whiskey flavored alcohol right at home in your own charred oak barrel. All whiskies get 100% of their color and over 50% of their flavor from the oak barrel. Just add our essence to your unflavored vodka or other neutral spirit and age in the barrel until you have reached the flavor you like. It may only be a week or it could be a couple months. We like the flavor in about 3-4 weeks but it’s totally up to you.

1 Liter White American Charred Oak Barrel
Barrel stand, bung, spigot, paper funnel, instruction card
Red Head Barrel Logo shot glass
1 – 20ml bottle of Whiskey Liquor Essence Flavor of Your Choice
Use the 1 liter oak barrel multiple times. It will last for years. Be sure to get extra essence bottles to make multiple batches.
Once you have aged your liquor and you are ready to remove it from the oak aging barrel you can pour it in to one of these 750 ml moonshine bottles.

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.
The 2 liter bourbon kit is probably our most popular kit chosen for a gift that we have. The rise in boom for bourbon distilleries such as Evan Williams, Heaven Hill brands, Jim Beam has made it a popular taste among drinkers. The essence is added to an unflavored alcohol such as vodka, or other grain alcohol. 1 bottle of essence for each 750ml – 1L of alcohol. The barrel adds 100% of the color and over 50% of the flavor to your batch. Depending on the price of the inexpensive vodka or grain alcohol you can make bourbon flavored bootleg and save a half your money and still drink well. You can flavor your drink just the way you like it. Makes a great gift idea since they probably don’t have one, it will last for years and everytime they use it they will think of you.

Our popular 2 liter charred oak barrel is cured with the whiskey flavor of your choice. Now when you receive the barrel it is ready to use. No curing necessary. Just pour your whiskey or whatever in and let the flavoring begin. You can choose from Kentucky Bourbon, Irish Whiskey, Spiced Bourbon, Tennessee Whiskey and more.
Why cure the barrel with water or even let your own prized whiskey soak in to the wood. If you are aging an Irish Whiskey for example you may want to have it precured with an Irish Whiskey. Or you may want to try out some new flavors by having a barrel cured with one thing and aging something different in it. The new liquor will pull in the flavor that has been soaked in to the wood and give you some great new flavor profiles. If you haven’t tried something that was aged in a different liquors barrel then you have got to try it now. Try aging rum in a bourbon barrel or scotch in a Irish whiskey infused barrel. The combinations are endless and you can make whatever you like just to your tastes.
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.
