Distillery offers live feed of whiskey maturation in barrel

Ohio-based Hayner Distilling has launched its Whiskey Webcam to stream a live feed of whiskey while it aged.

Hayner Distilling has decided to offer anyone who pre-buys a bottle from one of its 125 barrels bourbon the opportunity to watch his/her whiskey age via a live-webcam until it is ready. It is said to be the world’s first patent-pending webcam placed inside a whiskey barrel.

Buyers will receive yearly samples from their barrel and can choose when the whisky is ready to bottle and at what

proof they would like to have it. If they choose the liquid at four years old they can order their bottle at 90 percent proof with 45 percent ABV. If they go for six years old, they can get their bottle at 110 proof with 55 percent ABV. One can choose from a Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey or a High Rye Bourbon Whiskey.

Subscribers can access the live feed via a QR code at 149 USD that comes with their personal membership card.
