Freshly Dumped Bourbon Barrels in Minnesota or Wisconsin

[Berglund]

Hi all,

I intend to age my aquavit in freshly dumped bourbon barrels, or rye if necessary.  I'm a Minnesota distillery and intend to pick up the barrel myself. Anyone in Minnesota or Wisconsin have anything available for purchase?

Thanks!

I would avoid small bourbon barrels, wrong flavor. Rye barrels are better. If you are doing Norwegian style, it would be a used sherry cask.

Hi Brock,

I have 5 freshly dumped Bourbon barrels available for sale.  53 gallon, certified American White Oak.  Asking $250 per barrel.  I'm located in northern Illinois.  Let me know if you are interested.  Cheers!
