Pros & Cons
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.
Highlights
Quality
I’ve made two batches of refreshments now and i’m very happy with the results
The instructions that come with the barrels are clear and easy to follow
This might now allow me to increase my production and with a better product
Everything seems fine with the barrel so far the only problem i’ve had is that the barrel doesn’t actually fit on the stand
Price
The price was good compared to other barrels i looked at
Shipping
First of all thank you for shipping out a replacement barrel

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
