5L Oak Mini Barrel with Stand, Tap & Drip Catcher

Add traditional oak-aged character to your spirits with this 5L Oak Mini Barrel from The Smoking Barrel. Made for small-batch ageing and presentation, this compact barrel combines traditional styling with practical accessories for dispensing and displaying your finished creations.

Mini oak barrels offer a higher wood-to-liquid ratio than larger casks, which can lead to faster extraction of colour, oak character and flavour. They are popular for experimenting with small quantities of whisky, whiskey, gin and brandy, allowing you to explore how oak influences the character of your chosen spirit.

Supplied with a stand, tap and drip catcher, this mini barrel is ready to make an attractive addition to a home bar, tasting room or display. Mini barrels can also be used for suitable infused oils and vinegars.
