Deep South Barrels are hand crafted from American white oak with a medium char. Barrels come with barrel, bung, spigot, and stand. We can even customize your barrel! For examples of customized barrels, please visit our Facebook fan page. The barrel will age Scotch, Whiskey, Cognac, Rum, Tequila, Bourbon, Brandy, Wine and Beer. Also great for vinegars and hot sauces; as well as infusing your favorite taste into your cigars with our infusers.

Your barrel can be customized with names, logos, phrases, and clip art. We use our own laser engraving machines for quality control. The price for Personalization of your Barrel starts at $20.00 for the engraving.

Aging Spirits and Wines in a Barrel
First, cure your barrel. Add any spirit or wine to barrel, fill completely, then age for at least 14 days or until desired taste. You can age for longer periods of time after the first four to five uses. The longer you age, the better your alcohol becomes. From 14 to 21 days, depending on the size of the barrel, you will age from a bottom shelf to a mid grade spirit. From 21 to 35 days, depending on the size of the barrel, you will age from a mid grade to a top shelf spirit. The reason for this is the smaller the barrel, the faster the aging process because the fluid to surface ratio is much greater.
