Almost evening guys. I think I might have a Sunday evening sip in a bit. I bought a couple 3 liter oak barrels. I have one soaking with hot water overnight to seal it and tomorrow I am going to do a little experiment. I bought 4 750's of Cedar Ridge Bourbon. The ratings said they were a little weak (just a 3 year and I tend to agree) so I will macerate those 4 bottles in my barrel for some time. With a 3 liter barrel, almost 3 months equals 1 year compared to a 55 gallon barrel, 6 months = 2 years and so on. Of course the sampling along the way is the fun part.
