SOME FUN WHISKEY BITS
 

Fun Product: Wasmund's Age-It-At-Home Whiskey Kit

I love it! For about $100 you get 2 bottles of 124 proof rye whiskey and a two liter charred American oak mini-barrel.

This product enables the whiskey enthusiast to see the incredible effects that barrel aging has on whiskey. Take a ounce nip before duping it in the barrel, and then every two weeks. Keep a notebook detailing what you smell and taste, and you will learn.

You can reuse the barrel once you've emptied it. Once mine is drained, I might try pouring corn whiskey in it.

Wasmund's is made in Sperryville, Virginia. You may learn more at http://www.copperfox.biz/products/.
