30 Gallon Catoctin Creek Malt Whiskey Barrel (Ex-Rye) - Fresh Dumped

Discover the exceptional journey of our 30-gallon barrels, which began their life aging robust rye whiskey, infusing them with a spicy and complex character. This initial phase endowed the wood with the bold nuances and warm undertones typical of premium rye. Following this, the barrels took on a new role, aging Catoctin Creek American Malt Whisky. This transition layered the initial spicy rye profile with the smooth, rich notes of malt whisky, creating a multifaceted flavor canvas.

Now, these barrels present a unique opportunity for crafters. They are ideal for aging a variety of spirits, beers, or wines, imparting a distinctive profile that echoes their diverse history. The combination of rye's boldness and malt whisky's richness ensures that whatever you age in these barrels will acquire a depth and complexity unmatched by standard single-use barrels.

Perfect for distillers and brewers who appreciate the nuanced interplay of flavors, these barrels are more than vessels for aging; they are storytellers of the craft, echoing the legacy of skilled distillation and aging. Utilize these barrels in your next project to bring a touch of layered sophistication and historical depth to your creations.
