Making Bourbon is Fun!

Making Bourbon is Fun!

The Exclusive BYOB process starts with the same American White Oak that is used in a New Bourbon Barrel. We hand toast and char the new barrel staves and place a precise amount in the BYOB barrel (Jar).  When you add your favorite Whisky, aged or unaged, the same process that takes place in a new bourbon barrel now takes place in the BYOB Barrel. The difference with the BYOB process is your barrel will age in weeks, not years. This occurs because the liquid surrounds the wood instead of the wood surrounding the liquid! 

You can heat the barrel, cool the barrel and agitate the barrel as much or little as you want and all of these manipulations will help you create your very own unique bourbon. 

On the top of the BYOB barrel is a label where you can record the exact recipe that you used to create your special brand! 

Taste and nose it along the way and when you think you have that perfect barrel, simply take a funnel and a filter (coffee filter, cotton ball, etc) and pour your barrel through the filter and into your very own bottle!
