About the Award-Winning Whiskey:
Rye Malt Whiskey: Made from two types of malted rye, locally grown corn, and barley that's been smoked over a cherrywood fire, this whiskey delivers a smooth spiciness and a touch of engaging sweetness, with notes of campfire smoke and a hint of dark chocolate in the finish. Studio Distilling's Rye Malt Whiskey debuted in July of 2018 and is the recipient of a Double Gold Medal at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Bourbon Whiskey: A unique take on bourbon with two kinds of barley malt adding complexity to the base ingredient of locally grown corn, rye adding a hint of spice and seasoning, and a specially selected yeast delivering delicate notes of dark fruit. Studio Distilling's Bourbon Whiskey debuted in December of 2018 and is the recipient of a Silver Medal at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

About the Barrels:
These 10 gallon barrels are produced by The Barrel Mill, a father and son cooperage located in Avon, MN. They are made out of Northern-Grown white oak , Bourbon is #3 char and the Rye is a #4 char. A wooden bung seals the barrel tightly to keep the oak hydrated, plastic stopper also included.
Every barrel is wrapped with cellophane to keep it hydrated (prevent dehydration). We do recommend adding about 2 quarts of water or matching spirit to check for any potential leaks. Add water, rotate for about 5 minutes to resoak all staves, then let sit for 24 hours. This will quickly reseal the barrel. The barrel staves are soaked with whiskey and are effectively a sanitizer, meaning you won’t need to add any additional sanitizer to the barrel. The whiskey in the staves in known as The Devil’s Cut.
Once unwrapped a barrel needs to be filled within 72 hours. If not, there is potential for the staves to dry out over time. Northern Brewer does not recommend using these barrels for primary fermentation.
Due to the nature of this used barrel, we cannot accept returns. There is a possibility of minor cosmetic flaws, however, those would in no way affect the function of the barrel.
