Barrel Aged Whitehook Cocktail
By Jamie Boudreau
Created by the former Milk & Honey bartender Enzo Errico, the Redhook Cocktail has become a modern day classic. Using Headlong White Dog Whiskey from Woodinville Whiskey Co., Jamie concocts a variation on the Redhook he calls the Whitehook. Barrel aged for almost three months, Jamie prefers to drink and serve the resulting liqueur straight without dilution.

Hello Jamie, i just signed up for small screen due to you videos, they are fantastic. So my next experiment is aging a negroni. I was curious to what other great cocktails i can age as well. Also the barrel shown in your video, would the 8 gal be the optimal size for aging cocktails?
Holden:
I’ve found it’s best to age ingredients with clear base spirits in wood and brown spirits (with aperitfs/vermouths) in glass.
If you’re just doing this at home, use wood chips, they take up less room than a barrel and cost less.
Jamie…I have a small charred barrel I purchased from Copper Fox distilleryin VA. I used their base spirits to age a rye which actually turned out very nice. If I wanted to age a Negroni would you recommend rinsing the barrel first? Great videos.
Steve:
yes, you should always clean out a barrel as you have no idea of the condition or what may be inside it.
Good luck!
