{"title":"Wooden barrels","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wooden barrel is not a decorative piece but a tool. As soon as you age spirits in oak, the wood begins to impart flavor: vanilla, coconut, clove, and a soft woody roundness that cannot be replicated by any other means. At the same time, the barrel allows tiny amounts of oxygen through, softening sharp edges. In this category, you’ll find oak barrels in various capacities, allowing you to start your own aging process at home or behind the bar, from a barrel-aged Negroni to rum you’ve aged yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bar-professional-eikenhouten-vat-10-liter","title":"Bar Professional Oak Barrel 10 Liter","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis oak barrel has a capacity of 10 liters and a tap at the front.

Allow two to six weeks, depending on how pronounced you want the flavor to be.

Only fill it with spirits once it no longer leaks. Keep the barrel cool and dark and out of direct sunlight; otherwise, the wood will dry out on the outside. After use, do not leave it empty and dry; keep it filled or store it soaked.
