We know that whisky ages in the barrel and not in the bottle, so I am not saying that this mini barrel doesn't change the way a whisky tastes, and as an experiment it may be interesting, if expensive, to play around with. Still, I can't help thinking that if you normally drink Macallan 10 year old and want it eight years older, it would work out cheaper to buy the older bottle rather a wooden barrel that costs over £50.
If you want to play about with whisky, you can get one of these from Whisky Works. I am, however, thrilled that an American company has spelled whisky without an 'e'!
