You can let it age for a week or two, a few months, or even several years. As your whiskey (or whatever spirit you&#8217;ve chosen) ages, the taste will change and develop over time. It&#8217;s good to do a taste test every so often to see how you like how the whiskey is developing and then remove the liquid and place it into storage when it reaches the perfect taste for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What steps do I need to take to properly cure my barrel?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To start, place the spigot in the hole of the barrel and fill the barrel with warm water. It will likely swell and start to leak, but this is normal. Periodically top the barrel off with more warm water. After the barrel stops leaking &#8211; which may take anywhere between two days to a whole week &#8211; you can then drain the water and use your barrel as you please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sofia&#8217;s Findings Custom Engraved American Oak Whiskey Barrel This high-quality, handcrafted whiskey barrel from Sofia&#8217;s Findings is great for personal and commercial use, as well as for professional bartenders and amateur drink mixers alike.
