Aging Whiskey or Other Spirits in a Mini Oak Barrel

How long do I age my spirits?

There's no formula for the perfect time to age your spirits. Age to taste! We suggest you taste your spirits every week and once aged to YOUR taste, start drinking or move it to a glass bottle to stop the aging process.

Do smaller barrels age the spirit faster than large barrels?

Yes... due to the greater surface or contact area ratio, small size barrels will age 5 to 10 times faster than your standard 55-gallon barrel. This means that one month in a small barrel will produce the equivalent aging of 1 to 1 1/2 years in a full-size barrel.

How do I get Whiskey from a bottle of Vodka or Moonshine?

When alcohol is distilled, it produces Ethanol—a clear and tasteless alcohol. Distilleries then flavor and filter the alcohol to get their unique flavor. By using Swish Barrel Premium Essences, you can recreate the taste of many famous brands or create your own signature flavor at home.
