Hello, first post! These are Kelvin Cooperage #3 char. 25 gallon as mentioned in the title. Held 100% wheat whiskey for 2 years (some 2.5, some 1.92 yrs). There are 4 of these dumped 3/9/21 I also have 5 of these barrels that were used for ageing gin. Dumped 2/24/21. These held 100% wheat whiskey for over 1 year, and the gin for about 1.5 years (accidentally). Additionally there are still 4 barrels harvested 11/18/20 that are available, (and a baker's dozen more destined for furniture or firewood): Edit to include: $200/each for fresh dumped 3/9 $150/each for fresh gin barrels $100 for any and all else Located near the middle of the map, USA

I was wondering if anyone out there has tried to make any barrel-rested/oaked/aged gin? As both a whiskey and gin lover I really like some of the products out there (Corsair, Smooth Ambler, Waterloo). The trend seems to be expanding over the last year or two and we are about to do some test runs. However we are a small scale distillery and don't really have the overhead to be experimenting with a ton of our base product. I was wondering what barrels people are using. It looks like the larger brands are all over the map in terms of using new casks as well as used bourbon, rum, sweet and red wine barrels. I realize that it all depends on the taste profile we are aiming for but it would be nice to know if anyone has tried something that has not worked. Also what proof are people aging their gin at? Any dilution necessary?Size of barrels and time aged? Any advise would be appreciated, have experience aging out our whiskeys but these oaked gins are brand new to me.
