dkr02 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 According to the TTB classification, corn whisky must be stored in used or new uncharred barrels. We were hoping to use the used bourbon barrels to age our corn whisky, but am confused on the barrel requirement. Can we use the used bourbon barrels and still meet the requirement? If not, what would the whisky be classed stored in these barrels? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEPA-still-chillin Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 In my opinion they are USED bourbon barrels, so I'm pretty sure that works, its not really clear if the used barrels have to be uncharred or the new ones. What other type of whiskey do you think it would fall under? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkr02 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 My take on the barrels is the same as yours, it's kind of unclear, just "used barrels", just hate to assume when dealing with TTB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
