5 Gallon Used Bourbon Barrels

Freshly dumped bourbon barrels from Woodinville Whiskey Co.
My local Washington bourbon distillery has the perfect thing for adding bourbon barrel aged goodness to your next 5 gallon batch of beer. Here's the text from their website:

"All of our barrels have been used for just one aging cycle of our bourbon whiskey. This single use provides the oak with a rich bourbon flavor while still maintaining plenty of oak extracts for future use. The smaller barrel sizes also provide a greater surface area to volume ratio (more wood in contact with liquid) which results in increased extraction. The barrels can be used for aging beers, cocktails, bitters, sauces, or whatever you can dream up!"
