Oak Barrel

[bmock50]

I'm just taking a stab in the dark here but I wouldn't think it would make hardly any difference because whiskeys are aged in charred barrels.

Aging different whiskeys and bourbons for years could be a fun/interesting experience!

Good i was hoping it would not change it much if at all.

If it does, and you don't like it, I know of a place you can dispose of it

Have you checked on another forum or anything to see if there are any suggestions for storing whiskey like you want to?

I'd be willing to bet heavily it will impart an oakyness to the hooch. It's amazing to me how much oakyness is added to Chardonnay when it's stored in an oak barrel.

The other thing I'd suggest would be you'd lose some volume of the whiskey due to it being stored in the wood barrel.. Most distillers lose a fair amount of product while storing product in barrels (referred to as the "Angel's Share")

We have a keg aging in the barracks of pure corn. The quality of the barrels left a little to be desired, but at least they don't leak. We'll keep you posted on the taste........

Looks like the same keg I'm using.
1.3 gallons i put 5 quarts in it let it sit for almost a month just to see what it did, last night i had a shot and it was a nice amber color but still had that corn taste to it.

i think ill pour a shot every few months till the taste is where i want it then ill transfer it to glass bottles.

Thanks for the link. I think I may have to try this. Does anyone have a tip on what might be a good, common whiskey to try?

[Sumatra Samurai]

I'm definitely trying this, think I might mix some bourbons I like and experiment a bit!
