Used Whiskey Barrels

Similar to how a child matures over time, whiskey and other aged alcohols become more refined as they spend years resting in a barrel. Used whiskey barrels are vital in the process of aging as it gives alcohol the color and flavor that we expect.

Not many people are familiar with the process of aging. Aging is a method of storing distilled spirits of wine and whiskey in empty whiskey barrels for a specific period of time. The aim of doing this is to remove all the harsh flavors from the raw alcohol while adding peculiar flavor characteristics that are found in the barrel’s wood.

When alcohol is added to old whiskey barrels, it is clear and has flavorful nuances of corn and grain. During its time in the barrel, it will imbibe the flavors and colors of the wood and transform into the brown liquid we are used to seeing in the bottle.
