I'd love to make my own Whiskey...

My grandpa made wine in his basement. He was pretty big into it. Had a ton of bottles. I never got the chance to have any. My uncle bought the house from him and my grandma, and sold/drank it all.

This site offers a single malt maturing kit, complete with a 750ml bottle of 3 year old whisky and a 1 liter barrel, or you can buy larger barrels, up to 20 liters to further age any whisky that you buy.

I have some friends that have tried the kit and it turned out pretty good. They seasoned the barrel with port, then aged the whisky. It happens very fast because of the larger surface area to volume ratio.

I'm going to have to try this out sometime.

Made my first gallon on Tuesday. Now I just have to wait two weeks and then transfer to a new container.

I bought my mother and her husband wine supplies Christmas '07 to make their own and they have been at it since. They actually took a respectable place in the homemade wine contest at the Ky fair last year.

I'm SURE mine will never win a prize.

First, I am not sure I needed to know about this site

Secondly, I do not see any mention of alcohol included in the kit, was it a time limited special?
