If you are interested in taking your craft cocktails to the next level, join this unique woodworking class in NYC! In this craft experience, you'll learn how to craft your own barrel, and learn how to make homemade barrel-aged spirits!
This workshop introduces you to the art and science of barrel making, also known as coopering. Barrels have long been used to age spirits as they are the source of the various and often subtle flavors that make each spirit unique and drinkable. Our guides will walk you through the entire coopering process. You'll start by assembling the staves and hoops that form your barrel's perimeter, and you'll finish with a firey finale by using a propane torch to char the insides of your barrel. The resulting charred wood is responsible for much of the flavor and color a barrel imparts on spirits! You'll then add the finishing touches, including adding the tap and some beeswax to prevent leaking. Finally, you'll also learn wood burning to add a personal touch!
In addition to handcrafting your barrel, you'll also learn the art of coopering and how to make barrel-aged spirits. After this class, you'll be able to barrel age at home. Choose your favorite spirit, from bourbon to tequila, the possibilities are endless. Once the aging is complete, get ready to amaze and impress your friends with truly one-of-a-kind cocktails your barrel-making prowess made possible!
