Pros & Cons
Pros
The stand holds the barrel fine but it is slightly off. It seals great and is nice and tight. It looks great as well and is solidly built. Thank you for shipping out a replacement barrel.

Highlights
Quality
I’ve made two batches of refreshments now and i’m very happy with the results
Great product im currently aging white dog whiskey and seems to be going well
I could not keep it from slowly seeping out so i just set it up straight with the spout in the air so no liquid would escape
This might now allow me to increase my production and with a better product
Shipping

Packaging/appearance
