Moonshine Aging Pot

Moonshine Aging Pot

SKU: SKU061
$125.00Price

 

The pot is a functional and intriguing vessel, perfect for infusing complexity into your homemade spirits or wines. The pot is designed for aging brandy, fermented wines, or other similar beverages (Mead, etc.) with added ingredients like herbs, roasted bark, or mugwort leaves. Over a few months, these additions impart rich flavors, transforming the contents into a unique and refined creation. For instance, aging with roasted oak bark gives the drink a barrel-aged taste, adding depth and character.

 

The pot comes with roasted oak bark and mugwort leaves to kickstart your aging process. What makes this vessel special is its traditional, oxygen-free sealing method using acorn flour. This technique prevents air from entering, allowing the aging process to occur naturally while preserving the integrity of the flavors. The pot will also come with acorn flour, you just need to add water and seal the pot.

 

The pottery itself has a rustic and earthy aesthetic, with a textured surface showcasing the natural clay and ash glaze. Its rounded shape and irregular, handmade form celebrate the organic beauty of traditional techniques. It’s not just a tool; it’s a blend of history and craftsmanship, making it a perfect addition for those who enjoy fermented and experimental beverages.
