Tonight is the first pour of a mini-barreled project.
On June 1st Evan William's Bottled in Bond was put into a 2ltr. mini oak barrel for 8 weeks with this being the first pour.
The small glass on the left is the before with the larger glass on the right being the final product.

[Whiskeyman53]

A four year bourbon with only a couple of months in the mini barrel that is brought in and out of the summer heat ages it to roughly a 7-8 year bourbon. The flavors changed to increase the vanilla and carmels with a slight wood increase. The most notable change is how it rounds out taking away the rough edges of a young whiskey. Next up will be a young rye whiskey that should stay in the barrel for around 4 months.

How often did ya rotate yer barrel in an outta th heat? Been considering th barrel thing, so I gotta ask afore I lose where this post was

[Whiskeyman53]

I brought it out once we warmed up to over 80* 2 or 3 times a week. The science around this is to allow the wood to swell and contract squeezing the liquid in and out of the char to release the vanilum in the oak. Picked one up last year and have aged 3 whiskies so far. It is a blast to do and much like smoking and grilling you always find yourself thinking about new ideas and recipes. Next up is a rye whiskey followed by a tequila for my wife which should age until the start of next year.
