Get premium small-batch aging performance with the 1 Litre Gator Oak Aging Barrel with Metal Spigot. The Gator line uses thicker American white oak staves and a bold upgraded build with blackened hoops, visible rivets and gold nail accents on the stand.

Designed for whiskey, bourbon, rum, tequila and barrel-aged cocktails, the compact 1L format provides high oak-to-spirit contact for hands-on experimentation and frequent tasting.

Description

Level up with our premium Gator barrels!

For a more sophisticated look and big, bold flavors.

With our Gator Barrel, you get more of everything!

With our Gator Barrel, you get more of everything: more smoke, more oak ( thicker- staves), blackened hoops, upgraded rivets, and for an added touch of class, gold nails on the stand.

But it’s what’s on the inside that counts. While most of our barrels a Level 3 char, our Gator Barrel has a Level 4 char – that’s a full 55 seconds of fire to extract maximum smoky vanilla flavors from the wood.

Alligator Char

It’s what’s known as “alligator char.” It creates a rough texture that looks like alligator skin, but those cracks are extra entry points for your spirit to interact with the wood. And a deep roast is what you’re looking for if you want to give your spirit a big colour and flavour boost.

Each Gator Barrel is crafted from 100% Quercus alba (American white oak) that has been seasoned for 12 months. These premium barrels feature a metal key to replace the standard wooden spigot to complete the look.

Care Instructions

Note: Each barrel needs to be cured before use. Please review our curing instructions.
