Dublin Irish-Style Whiskey Making Kit for Dads - 3L Oak Cask Keg

Product Description: Make Whiskey at Home in an Oak Barrel

Age Spirits or Cocktails: Spirits aged in small barrels, sometimes called accelerated aging barrels, age 8x to 10x faster than in a commercial 55 gallon drum. Just three to four weeks in a small barrel is equivalent to 1 1/2 to 2 years of flavor extraction.

Chalkboard Front: Keep track of the spirit type, signature cocktail, date barreled, and blend or special enhancement on the front of the barrel. The included chalk easily wipes off when starting the next batch.

Show Piece for the Bar: These barrels make great show pieces in your bar or kitchen and also make a great gift for whiskey and bourbon enthusiasts, as well as casual drinkers.

Signature Cocktails: Create classic signature cocktails like the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Whiskey Sour, Boulevardier, and Sazerac right at home.

How to Use a Bootleg Kit: 1. Pour Essence in the Barrel: Follow included instructions to cure your barrel. Pour Swish Barrel Essence into the barrel (see quantity chart). 2. Fill the Barrel with Spirits: Top off the barrel with your favorite vodka or grain alcohol (not included) and gently shake to mix. 3. Age to Taste: Let the spirits age for 1-2 weeks in the barrel, tasting regularly. Age to your desired flavor. 4. Pour Straight from the Barrel: When aged to taste, pour directly from the barrel or transfer to a glass bottle to stop aging. 5. Garnish: Add garnish to your cocktail for a great presentation.

Preparing & Aging in a Barrel: - Follow detailed instructions in the Bootlegger's Bible to cure the barrel with hot or boiling water. - Rotate the barrel every other day to evenly distribute spirit contact with the wood. - Age the spirits to taste, emptying them into a bottle to stop the aging process and lock in the flavor profile.

Barrel Aging FAQs: - Loose or Fallen Hoops: Tighten the hoops by hand and tap with a blunt item until tight. - Rattling Inside the Barrel: Strain the spirits before drinking. - Inserting the Spigot: Hand force the spigot into the hole, tapping with a rubber mallet or hammer. - Blackish Color: "Leaching" is normal; it occurs during curing and aging. - Dispensing from the Spigot: Remove the bung to release pressure and allow airflow. - Little or No Spirit: Smaller barrels age faster; taste periodically and remove when desired. - Switching Spirits: Follow the barrel food chain to inherit flavors from previous batches.
