Create larger batches of beautifully aged spirits with the BADMOTIVATOR Legacy American Oak Ex-Bourbon 19L Barrel Including Stand. Crafted from a genuine American Oak ex-bourbon barrel, each barrel is carefully reconditioned, repaired where required, and freshly re-charred to deliver an authentic ageing experience while preserving the rich history and character of its previous life.

With a generous 19-litre (5-gallon) capacity, this barrel is ideal for enthusiasts and serious home distillers looking to age larger quantities of whisky, bourbon, rum and other spirits. American Oak is renowned for imparting complex flavour characteristics, including notes of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak and subtle spice, helping transform your chosen spirit into something truly unique.

Every BADMOTIVATOR Legacy barrel is individually planed to create a smooth finish while retaining many of the distinctive markings that tell the story of its previous use. Features such as stains, brands, stamps, paint markings, wax remnants, spile marks and saw marks may still be visible, ensuring that no two barrels are ever exactly alike.

Each barrel is supplied with a handcrafted wooden display stand, providing a secure and attractive way to showcase your barrel in a home bar, cellar, man cave or entertaining area. The traditional barrel design and authentic ex-bourbon character make this barrel both a functional ageing vessel and an impressive display piece.

Care & Ageing Information:

• Used oak barrels should not be left empty for extended periods.
• American Oak is naturally porous and minor leakage may occur when first filled.
• If small leaks appear, allow the barrel several days to swell naturally and create a seal.
• Before first use, soak the barrel with water for at least 24 hours, then empty and fill with your chosen spirit.
• Barrels stored for extended periods may require additional settling time to achieve optimal ageing performance.
