I have a 1 liter aging barrel that I have aged a few things in already. My first attempt was the Ballast Point white rum. It turned out better than their aged in my opinion. At about the 2 1/2 month point we noticed that we had drank it all as samples. I guess it went really well for the first attempt.

I also did 2 months on some Mezcal. Didn't make it amazing, but it was horrible when we put it in and aging made it tolerable.

Now I am aging some Moonshine into Whiskey. Added a little water to cut down the proof and it has been in there for a few weeks. I think I want to do a full 3 months on this one just to give it some character.

I don't know what I will do next, I might try for an aged cocktail. We will see. I still have a couple months to decide.
