Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Bought this to age some mead that i made. Flavored some cheap whiskey for 10 days in a glass jar with peach and vanilla. Cheap whiskey becomes good whiskey!

The stand holds the barrel fine but it is slightly off. It looks great as well and is solidly built. It is so nice, just richer than before. Thank you for shipping out a replacement barrel.

The steps to prep are included and simple to follow. Had a few questions, and those were answered by seller within a day or two. Followed instructions, sealed perfect in 1 day.



Cons

Cork for spigot and top cork are very soft and seem like they would leak. Spigot is junk and does not seal. Leaking appears to be seeping through the grain of the wood of the spout.

Looks like it was just hacked together and gooped up with glue. Pictures show other flaws that are not as pictured in the advertisement.

Turns out the barrel was defective. Contacted the seller again, quite * this time. Took a while to get wax, and emails asking for shipping dates were never returned.

    The only advice to the seller

    I havent filled it with liquor yet but it stopped leaking water after the 1st day


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I sent a message and requested an unvarnished barrel i read that the varnish can leak into the liquor as i plan to move the barrel outside into heat and then back indoors allowing the liquor to swell into the wood and then back out mimicking changing seasons


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    That is my only complaint so far this is my first barrel there were cheaper options but they had mixed reviews and various issues with overall build quality


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
