At Mardel Souza, we can cure your Barrel before it ships to you.

Also, if by any reason you leave your barrel without liquid inside, just fill it with water to cure it again. Since  the barrel was already cured before, this re-curing will take significantly less time.

The whole purpose of curing the barrel is to allow the oak to expand and retain the liquid inside. This is the same principle that allowed boats to float in the sea centuries ago.

Rinse the Barrel several times until the water coming from inside has no wood residues.

Fill the barrel up to 3/4 to full capacity. This will allow the oak to expand. The barrel may leak during this process. After this curing period you will place the barrel in an horizontal position (preferably on its base). As the wood Absorbed  water, you will need to replenish it until the water level stays the same.
This will be achieved in 3-15 days.

You are now ready to fill it with either Tequila, Whisky or any spirits that require aging. You need to keep 3/4 of max level of liquid in the Barrel at all times (remember, we don't want to sink the boat do we?)

Make sure  the "cork" is placed tightly as the air will spoil the aging process.

It is important that you keep the Barrel full at all times to avoid the barrel to drying out.

Should the Barrel dry out , you just need to cure it again.
