- HOW DOES A SMALL WHITE OAK AGING BARREL WORK? Due to the high proportion of liquid in contact with the charred mini wooden barrel interior, spirits age 10x faster than larger, commercial sized whiskey/bourbon barrels, giving a balanced and aged flavor to alcohol in weeks rather than years.
- FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS: Instructions are included and explain how to cure your oak barrel and start sampling aged whiskey after just a few days. A small window of curing the barrel with water is required but it's not long and is worth the wait.
- PERSONALIZE YOUR MINI BOURBON BARRELS: Write a name, batch number, barrel date, alc. proof, or tasting note directly onto the barrel head.
- Engrave with your favorite brand, logo, business name, or your own special brand, for an additional fee.
- Our oak barrels for aging whiskey are made from new American Quater sawn oak staves, charred to a #4 char for maximum flavor. Extract natural flavors from the oak interior (vanilla and sweet spices) and infuse into a classic cocktail: the Negroni, Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Martini or Whiskey Sour.
- USE FOR MULTIPLE AGING CYCLES: Each barrel keg can be used for many years and makes for a great bar-restaurant liquor dispenser, addition to any man cave liquor cabinet, or unique gift for any whiskey or bourbon enthusiast. Included: one oak barrel with wooden stand, bung, spigot, funnel, and instruction booklet. Make sure you always have the barrel full of alcohol or water at all times to prevent it from drying out and cracking.
- Hiawatha Barrel provides a generous 60-day warranty on all our wooden barrels.

This Lazy Susan is crafted from used bourbon whiskey barrels, offering a rustic and distinctive twist on our usual designs by keeping the barrel’s ring and stave intact. Perfect for your dining table, kitchen counter, or living room, each barrel head is carefully sanded and finished with two coats of waterproof, food-safe oil for protection and easy serving. Every lid is one-of-a-kind, with unique grain patterns, markings, and ring colors ranging from silver to black, shaped by the cooperages that originally made them. The ring is secured with screws, while a sturdy wooden backer, staples, and waterproof glue ensure long-term durability. A stainless-steel swivel base makes for smooth spinning. Each lid comes from a bourbon or whiskey barrel aged for years—never from beer barrels—retaining authentic character marks like stamps, dark lines, or small dents from its life in the distillery. Some lids are lighter, others darker, but no two are ever the same, making each piece truly special. -
