Aging spirits in small barrels is complicated and a mixed bag at best.

It makes more sense for cocktails, since you're not going to age as long, and you're not really trying to put time on the liquid, so much as give it a chance for the flavors to combine and mature and maybe mellow out a little. Even so, I'd recommend tasting it often and pulling it sooner rather than later.

I've been tempted to try it, but haven't yet.
