We are a Texas company with a passion for making things better. There is no better way to make your spirits and wine better than to age them at home in Oak Aging Barrels. That 15 Year Scotch and bottom shelf whiskey will never be better than the day you bought them by leaving them in the bottle. Use one of our American Oak Aging Barrels to make them better. Nothing Ages in the Bottle, Only in an Oak Aging Barrel. We also offer an extensive line of Essences for flavoring your own spirits in your American Oak Aging Barrels.

AGING SPIRITS & WINE IN A BARREL
Add any dark spirit or red wine to the oak aging barrel. Let it age to acquired taste. This may be a few days, weeks or months so you should taste test it often, but the smaller barrels age faster because of the increased surface area to volume ratio. The longer it’s aged in the oak aging barrel the better your spirits become. Your oak aging barrel will age spirits or wine in one to two months what it takes a 55 gallon oak aging barrel a year to age. Nothing ages in a bottle, only in a charred oak aging barrel.

MAKING YOUR OWN SPIRIT
Add 1 bottle of essence to one liter of unflavored vodka or Everclear to the oak aging barrel using a funnel. Fill until full only leaving room for the bung. Let age for 10 to 14 days. The longer it is aged the better and cleaner your spirit becomes. Use 1 bottle of essence for every liter of spirits you are making.

BOOTLEG BOX
The Bootleg Box is a prepackaged combination of our American Oak Aging Barrels and our Essences used for making your own spirits. Plus, we give you one of our cleaning kits so you can clean out your barrel if you decide to change essence flavors.
