storage devices used

Not exactly sure if I am in the correct place to ask this. If I am in the wrong place feel free to move it. What I am asking is after oaking and ageing what do you keep your liiiker in. I have a best bud that is a bartender and he would more than likely save govt liquor bottles or beer bottles. I won't tell him what they are for so that might kill that. There is mason jars and it would be cheap and have the moonshine look but if you oak it then who really cares. No one else is going to see. What do you use and where do you get them?

Hey baked, depends on how much I have to store/age. I have a 5 gal glass carboy for the rum. A couple 5 gal oak barrels for brandy and whiskey. The bourbon got booted out of a barrel and lives in gallon jugs, the kind Gallo wine comes in. I also have a bunch of 'acid bottles' They are 3 liter size glass, very nice, wiht assorted spirits. Brewshop customer brought them in for a while, freebies.

The oaked stuff stays on oak in the jugs. As long as you dont over oak, youre good for years like that. Longer the better right.

I have a considerable amount of whiskey in five gallon carboys, got the oak in the carboys with the whiskey, and some of it is over six years old. As far as I can tell it just sits there getting better every year. If you have the room just keep your spirits in the container there in, they don't age after you take them out of the oak.
