My kids gave me a 2 liter charred oak barrel for Christmas. After much thought I asked my beverage director (aka my son) what he would age in the barrel. His response was to barrel a Vieux Carre. Now transmografied into my version: 600 ml Baltimore Spirits Company 6 year old barrel strength 100% rye whiskey, 500 ml BSC apple brandy, 100 ml BSC Smoked Pommeau liqueur, 600 ml Carpano Antica Formula, 75 ml Benedictine. I pulled .75 liters at 7 days and the rest at 22 days. I lean slightly towards the 7 day version because it's a bit brighter. The 22 day is deeper. Both are spectacular. So much fun!
