As you get down to smaller barrel sizes, the surface area to volume increases, meaning more wood touches whiskey. This is why using one-half gallon barrels allows you to age your whiskey in just a few short months.

Let’s cover the steps for aging your whiskey using the kit:
– Put the funnel into the top of the barrel.
– Pour hot tap water into the barrel. This will cause swelling, making it water-tight before putting whiskey inside. Once leaking stops, dump the water out.
– Pour both bottles of high-proof whiskey into the barrel.
– Top the barrel off with tap water.
– Completely seal the bung into the top of the barrel, making sure it is water-tight.

Note: Keep the barrel in a temperate location and taste frequently!

After a few months, enjoy your whiskey!.
