    Recently Emptied Bourbon Barrels Available in Minnesota or Wisconsin

    Posted by berglund on July 3, 2018 at 2:15 am

    Hi all,

    I intend to age my aquavit in freshly dumped bourbon barrels, or rye if necessary.  I’m a Minnesota distillery and intend to pick up the barrel myself. Anyone in Minnesota or Wisconsin have anything available for purchase?

    Thanks! 

    Brock

    I would avoid small bourbon barrels, wrong flavor. Rye barrels are better. If you are doing Norwegian style, it would be a used sherry cask.
