1 Liter American Oak Whiskey Aging Barrel Dispenser with Wood Stand, Bung and Spigot - Age Cocktails, Bourbon, Rum, Beer, Wine and More! Custom Laser Engraved Tequila Aging Barrels 1L (B103)

I buy the 1.75L Silver Tequila from Sams/Costco, drop flakes of toasted oak chips into the bottles (just enough to fill to the brim), recap, and then wait 6 weeks. I then pour the tequila through a strainer/funnel into these 20L barrels. It's been 11 months and the tequila is tasting sweet and loaded with after-flavors that are to die for. I used a different brand of barrel the first time around and the tequila did fine until the 8-9 month time-frame but then started to take on a bitter taste. I saved a bottle of the bitter stuff (stored in the same bottle it came from Sams club) and did a taste testing party of it with the tequila that has aged 11 months in these barrels and everyone agreed that the tequila from these barrels is far superior. In fact, it blows away the Joe Cuervo La Familia which tastes extremely weak by comparison (also tasted during the tasting party). I noticed that these barrels leaked much less tequila than the other brand of barrels and the spigots also don't leak at all, like the other brand from before. (If your spigots leak, it is best to turn the barrels slightly (1:30/10:30 position) so as to reduce the pressure on the spigots.I bought and filled 9 of these barrels, three of them filled 11 months ago and six 10 months ago. I am planning to bottle 2 of the barrels that are at 11 months aging right now, since I know that they are really good from the taste-testing, and let all the others continue to age. If I start noticing the last remaining 11-month barrel to start to turn bitter, then I will bottle everything, hoping that I caught the six 10-month barrels in their prime, before turning bitter.I came to this page to buy 10 more barrels so yes, I highly recommend them.

Followed the directions to "cure" the barrel then pumped in 2L of Don Julio 1942 Tequila.It was beautiful. Flavors were even more forward and the nose of the liquor was robustified by the cask caressing the tender devil liquid in its staves for 3 weeks.money well spent, great for a groom gift or a special drinking night.

Use it for tequila and it was best tasting tequila 😋
