Are the barrels new oak? I assume they're not charred or anything on the inside? How long did you let your batches age before enjoying? Thanks Huskee!

I like pouring a bottle of Wray and Nephew overproof white rum into a large mason jar with an oak stave and let it "age" for 2 months. Talk about a delicious faux "aged" rum for $20...Comment

I designed The A&M Lyons one with a scroll design, forget where I got it, and used Microsoft Word to add the fonts. Insert pic > insert text box, size to look right. Then I did a screen-cap of the finished design to make it a pic file. I am not a computer whiz, but I am a heck of a two-bit computer whiz. The other design was just their stock monogram offering which I wsan't too thrilled with.

When the keg is spent use it one last time for 'Mama Juana'.

On its way - this will be cool... I'm actually thinking of filling it to the cork with Evan Williams 10 YO Single Barrel.

Cool! Be sure to follow the seasoning instructions that come with it. You'll likely need to go 4 or 5 days with water in it before whiskey, to waterproof it. My recommendation is to make good pricey whiskey out of budget whiskey. I would resist the urge to put something you already love, that is pricier, in it. A cheapy that you like may be the safer option. But, that's of course up to you. -
Huskee you think there's something cheaper than Evan Williams?
My dad used to fill his double-planked boat up with newspapers and run a garden hose in it for a couple days after winter to swell it up... when it stopped leaking from the inside out it was ready.
