Craft Authentic American Single Malt Whiskey at Home

The American Single Malt Whiskey Barrel Aging Kit is a complete home whiskey making kit designed for bourbon lovers, single malt enthusiasts, and craft spirit creators who want to create authentic barrel-aged American single malt whiskey from the comfort of home.

This all-in-one whiskey aging kit includes a handcrafted American white oak barrel, premium American Single Malt Whiskey essence packets, barrel restoration supplies, funnels, storing tablets, bung and spigot, cradle stand, and the Bootlegger’s Bible aging guide.

Whether you’re looking to age neutral spirits into a smooth single malt profile, enhance store-bought whiskey, or create a custom barrel-aged gift, this kit delivers real oak aging performance — not artificial flavoring.

What Is American Single Malt Whiskey?

American Single Malt Whiskey is crafted from 100% malted barley and aged in oak barrels, delivering:

  • Rich malted barley sweetness

  • Toasted oak complexity

  • Caramel undertones

  • Vanilla notes

  • Subtle spice

  • Smooth lingering warmth finish

This kit recreates that authentic American single malt flavor profile using real oak barrel aging combined with premium essence concentrate.

How This Whiskey Kit Works

Unlike standard DIY whiskey kits, this is a true barrel aging system.

Step 1: Cure the Oak Barrel

The handcrafted American white oak barrel is prepared using the included instructions.

Step 2: Add Your Spirits + Essence

Combine neutral grain spirit (35–50% ABV), vodka, or moonshine with the American Single Malt Whiskey essence.

Step 3: Barrel Age to Taste

The mini oak barrel rapidly accelerates aging due to increased wood-to-liquid surface contact, allowing:

  • 8x to 10x faster aging than commercial full-size barrels

  • Natural vanillin extraction

  • Real oak tannin integration

  • Authentic caramelized char notes

Step 4: Enjoy or Bottle

Once your whiskey reaches the desired smoothness and complexity, bottle it or serve directly from the barrel.

What Makes This Barrel Special?

Each barrel is crafted from:

  • New American white oak staves

  • Air-dried wood (6%–8% moisture)

  • Medium char interior for maximum flavor extraction

  • Black steel hoops

  • Exterior finish to minimize evaporation

  • Solid wood cradle stand

  • Includes bung and spigot

No glue.
No chemicals.
No artificial sealants.

Just genuine oak barrel aging.
