Turn your favourite spirit into a smooth, rich Jamaican-style dark rum with the 2L Jamaican Dark Rum Barrel Aging Kit. This complete kit combines a 2-litre charred American white oak aging barrel with Jamaican Dark Rum Essence and the accessories you need to start aging at home. The small barrel provides greater wood-to-spirit contact, allowing you to develop oak, vanilla, caramel and spice characteristics in weeks rather than years. What's Included 2L American White Oak Aging Barrel 2 Jamaican Rum Essence Wooden Barrel Stand Jamaican Dark Rum Essence Wooden Spigot Wooden Bung Funnel Barrel Wax Maintenance Tablets How It Works First, cure your barrel according to the included instructions. Once cured, add your spirit and Jamaican Dark Rum Essence and allow the charred American white oak to do the rest. For a 2L barrel, we recommend approximately 4–6 weeks for the first batch, tasting periodically until you reach your preferred flavour profile. Once it hits your sweet spot, bottle it, refill your barrel and start experimenting with your next batch. Small Barrel. Big Flavour. The higher wood-to-spirit ratio of a 2L barrel accelerates flavour extraction from the oak, developing notes of vanilla, caramelized sugars, toasted oak, spice and tannins much faster than a traditional full-size barrel. Perfect for rum lovers, home bartenders, cocktail enthusiasts and anyone who wants to experience barrel aging at home. Everything you need to cure it, fill it, age it and maintain it — all in one kit.
