Alcohol is one of a small handful of products that actually get better with age. But the aging process is inherently very slow, so producers of of top quality beverages can charge a premium for their product. But what if you could age alcohol, and lots of other liquids in only a few minutes or hours instead of many years?

Well, you can! Using ultrasound and wood chips made of used barrels, you can achieve a very similar effect to aging, in only a few minutes. Using a combination of ultrasound an aeration, you can make the same chemical reactions take place but in a much shorter time span. The technique is so powerful that many companies have begun to work it into their production runs to make new and interesting products.
