Craft Your Own Barrel-Aged Cherry Bourbon at Home

Create rich, smooth, small-batch Cherry Bourbon Whiskey with our premium Cherry Bourbon Making Kit, featuring a real charred American white oak aging barrel and gourmet cherry bourbon essence. Designed for whiskey lovers, home bartenders, bourbon enthusiasts, and craft spirit hobbyists, this complete kit allows you to age and infuse your own spirits 8x–10x faster than traditional full-size commercial barrels.

Whether you’re aging bourbon, whiskey, rye, rum, tequila, or crafting custom barrel-aged cocktails, this DIY whiskey aging kit delivers authentic flavor, deep oak character, and a smooth toasted spice finish — right from your countertop.

Flavor Profile – Rich, Dark Cherry Meets Classic Bourbon Warmth

Our premium Cherry Bourbon essence enhances your spirit with:

  • Deep dark cherry sweetness

  • Smooth Kentucky bourbon warmth

  • Vanilla oak infusion

  • Caramel richness

  • Toasted spice and lingering finish

  • Subtle floral and clove undertones

The charred oak barrel extracts natural vanillins, caramelized wood sugars, and spice notes from the toasted American white oak. As your spirit rests inside the barrel, oxidation and wood interaction create complex layers of flavor, color, and aroma — delivering a balanced, smooth cherry bourbon reminiscent of premium small-batch distillery releases.

Why Small Barrels Age Spirits Faster

Commercial distilleries use large 53-gallon barrels that require years of aging. Our small oak barrels have a dramatically higher wood-to-liquid surface area ratio, which allows:

  • 8x to 10x faster maturation

  • Accelerated flavor infusion

  • Enhanced color development

  • Rapid oxidation

  • Greater oak extraction in weeks instead of years

Most spirits reach optimal flavor between 7–21 days depending on barrel size and desired intensity. Simply taste every few days and bottle when perfect.

How It Works – Simple 3-Step Process

  1. Add the included Cherry Bourbon essence to the charred oak barrel.

  2. Pour in your favorite bourbon or neutral spirit (alcohol not included).

  3. Age on your counter for 7–10 days, tasting periodically until desired richness is achieved.

That’s it. No complicated equipment. No distilling required. Just authentic barrel aging at home.

Premium American White Oak Barrel

Each handcrafted barrel is made from new American white oak staves, air-dried 18–24 months for superior flavor extraction. The interior is charred to unlock classic bourbon notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted spice.

  • Real charred oak interior

  • Handmade and reusable

  • Available in 1L, 2L, 3L, 5L, 10L & 20L sizes
