I am debating if I should try to sit this out in the garage where it gets pretty warm during the day which speeds up the process or stick with a cool place and let it just take its sweet time.
My son-in-law did this with bourbon last year in a smaller barrel, 3 liter I believe. He put in 3 fifths of Eagle Rare, 2.25 Liters, and put it in his shed. He lived in SW Michigan at the time and due to weather variations and evaporation lost a little over 1/4 liter. He said if he had it to do over again he would have just put it in his basement where it stayed a constant temp.
BTW, it elevated that Eagle Rare quite nicely.
