We have a barrel as one of our perk packages on our Indiegogo.com campaign: https://igg.me/at/twobitchbourbon/x/14242562. Do you have any new barrel cocktails going? Will be keeping up with you and your bourbon antics.

The only thing in the barrel is the whiskey and vermouth. I prefer to choose my bitters on the fly rather than having it in the barrel. As for aging, it really comes down to the rate at which you consume. If you don't pull from the barrel than often, then it can take on some wood notes. I drink from the barrel on occasion and when it starts getting low, I recharge with a new batch and just keep it going. Since the holidays, I've recharged twice.

I can understand mixing/aging the Bourbon, Vermouth, and bitters but I would think adding the Luxardo syrup (which is fairly heavy) might compromise the inside of the barrel and spigot. Also, did you come up with a good time-span to age the Manhattan (not sure how long Vermouth lasts outside of a bottle).
