Cherry/Oak Hybrid Barrel for Spirit Aging
This barrel blends the robust qualities of Quartersawn American White Oak with a single Cherry wood stave, adding a subtle fruitiness to your spirits. We’re exploring new aging dynamics with this hybrid, and your feedback will be essential in evaluating its performance, particularly regarding seasonal variations and loss rates.
If the barrel doesn’t perform as expected, we’ll replace it with a standard oak barrel.
Features:
- Hybrid Build: American White Oak with Cherry wood for added complexity
- Stainless Steel Can and Spigot: Ensures no flavor impact
- White Oak Bung and Beeswax Seal: For secure, optimal aging
Capacity: 1.8 gallons (6.5 L)
Extras: Includes a testing bung and an additional new, unused bung.

This is an awesome idea I haven't added any distillate yet but i can't see why it wouldn't perform as well as a standard oak barrel. I look forward to using it.
These barrels are all awesome. Delivery is prompt, quality is great. Can’t wait to see my finished product in a year or two!
I tried a peach brandy aged in one of these hybrids in the summer. It was fantastic. I decided to grab one for an apple rye brandy I had on hand. After 2 months the taste profile was fantastic. It is far from done, but I’m excited to pull it in 2027.
Unlike a lot of smaller barrels there is no tannin overload. It just a remarkably aged spirit. I’ve purchased several so far, and plan on being a regular, returning customer.
Mine arrived on time, and the barrel looks in excellent condition. The cherry wood smells so nice. Before I received my barrel, I exchanged emails with Christopher, and he always replied quickly and answered all my questions. He is very professional. Thank you!
I'm looking forward to buying another. Please don't stop the cherry wood experiment. Is unique.
Bought at least 10 lost track but will keep them coming
Great product and lots of different types to choose from
