So the idea is you buy already bottled bourbon and age it further? I've never heard of this...
Yeah, some people just buy it to store the liquor in for parties or for looks. I think he told me that two weeks of aging turns a regular bottle of crown closer to the taste of Crown reserve (small liter barrel that is). I don't know about all that but he loves his. His name is burnt into the side. The website shows some examples. Pretty cool gift ideas in the liter sizes.

Instructions
AGING SPIRITS & WINE IN A BARREL
Add any dark spirit or red wine to the oak aging barrel. Let it age to acquired taste. This may be a few days, weeks or months so you should taste test it often, but the smaller barrels age faster because of the increased surface area to volume ratio. The longer it’s aged in the oak aging barrel the better your spirits become. Your oak aging barrel will age spirits or wine in one to two months what it takes a 55 gallon oak aging barrel a year to age. Nothing ages in a bottle, only in a charred oak aging barrel.

That sounds like snake oil. Though it might be cool to have on display.
