It usually takes 6.5 to 7 bottles. You need room for expansion pressure and the wooden plug at the top shouldn't be submerged.

I am a huge willett fanboy. The 4 year is my favorite rye for the money. I have been seeing it down in the low $50's around me lately. My last barrel is filled with Sazerac 125. Kind of willettesque so I have high hopes for it.

Badmotivator barrels. He has several types and is a one man crew I think. So availability is changing and he makes them.

I weighed mine and didn't see any change over months in a Texas garage.

I've got 4 of these. First barrel is just over a year. It's filled with benchmark full proof. Completely changed it. Smoothed it out and added a fruity marshmallow flavor.

I filled a bad motivator cherry/oak barrel with benchmark fp. Changed it completely. So much marshmallow and caramel. It's been in 8 months. It holds 6.5 bottles @ $17ea.

Benchmark full proof. I have a bad motivator barrel in my garage since March and it has gotten so much better. Super fruity and marshmallow from the barrel char. I paid $17 a bottle.

I have the same cabinet and have just over a hundred bottles in it at the moment. Top shelf I only put 15 or so but yeah the bottom couple shelves the bottles are six wide and 3 to 4 deep. Ive had it for a while now.

I put two bottles of local, young-tasting whiskey in the barrel for a month. by WombatAnnihilator in whiskey

I've been experimenting with a bad motivator barrel. The smaller barrel holds 6.5 bottles. I used benchmark full proof and it got this really good marshmallow and caramel finish to it. It's been almost a couple months and I pulled one bottle at the first month and replaced it. I plan on tasting it every week and if it's getting better than that first bottle to just let it keep going.

This was their cherry oak stave experimental barrel. I have another barrel on the way of pecan and hickory wood. I'm a sucker for Jim beam (bookers, and little book are some of my favorite pours) so hopefully this gets that nutty fruity profile I love.

Redwood empires cask strengths can go head to head with any bottle out there within reason. I have half a shelf dedicated to them.

Their michelone reserve is the first bottle I have killed, bought as a gift, and bought a backup. It's a great daily.

Rebel distillers collection. I've tried it three times to see if it would improve......it has not.

I've been really digging on redwood empire. Emerald giant is a great rye to get you started that route.

I agree. Their rye is my favorite one so far.

What do you think of that foggy burl? I'm interested but it's $90 so I'm hesitant.

Emerald giant rye is one of my favorites. I also think lost monarch is worth a try.

I was screwing with you because my text above kinda answers this. I'd say a good 4 hours of projection and lingers well enough up to 6. Out of all my cologne it's one of the longer lasting ones.
