Beautiful; great value for the money, highly functional, great customer service response/actions

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2019

Size: 2 Liter or .53 GallonColor: Black (Steel Hoops)Verified Purchase

I bought the 2 L, 3 L, and the 5 L barrels. They match beautifully, and I love seeing them on my mantle piece. I now have the 2 L aging 1.75 L of right good bourbon, correction, that’s a blended Canadian whiskey. I saved a sample of the original to taste tested after several weeks. The 2 L barrel arrived with a crack in the spigot, which rendered it non-functional due to the leaking. I contacted the company, and Sophia is not only sent me one gratis, they sent me two! I don’t think that they are manufactured/fabricated to feel like this, you know how wood is, natural product and very easy for such a crack to develop in a small hardwood piece that has been drilled into. The other two replacements look fantastic. I highly recommend these barrels over all the others… I did order a couple of others but send them back because I was not satisfied with the aesthetics, for the price! By the way, I follow the about how to break them in and get them to stop leaking and they worked, do not leak now, and it happened with just within hours. Now it’s been a few weeks and there has not been a leak in any of the three. Love them! Can I say anymore? Just ask questions!

Very well made casks

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2022

Verified Purchase

I bought two one liter casks to finish some Scotch whisky. One is being seasoned with Tawny Port and the other with Oloroso Sherry. One cask had a very slow leak for a couple of days that sealed up on its own. The other cask had no leaks at all. I have a bottle of Ardbeg 10 Year Old that will be going into the Port cask, and a bottle of Glen Grant 12 Year Old that is slated for the Sherry Cask. The casks will not be ready for whisky for about another 3 or 4 weeks. Looking forward to the results. Very pleased with the build quality of the casks.

Pretty good, but quality varies

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2019

Size: 1 Liter or .26 GallonColor: Black (Steel Hoops)Verified Purchase

Overall these are better than any other barrel I've tried on here, but the quality varies between a 3 and a 5. Not for long term storage, they will leak out eventually. The newest one I received appeared to be sealed on the outside and was leak proof pretty soon after filling. We'll see how it lasts long term.

Well crafted

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2022

Size: 10 Liter or 2.65 GallonsColor: Black (Steel Hoops)Verified Purchase

I bought this barrel before I was actually ready to use it. Some of the instructions suggested that it must be filled and seasoned immediately upon receipt, but the instructions that came with the barrel said it was okay to wait a couple months before filling. I started seasoning my barrel about a month after receipt and it has been drip-free from the first time I filled it with water. Although I followed the seasoning process, refilling and wetting the barrel daily for three days, it is hard to tell that there has been any change. I worry a little about how long the bung stopper will hold up as the leather wrap that seals the hole seems like it wants to squish and deform each time I pull it out. However I have smoothed it out and easily pressed it back into the hole with no problems so far. And for long term storage I will not be removing the bung often, so I think it will be fine. I can’t wait to order and fill a few more barrels.

Leaks when the bands begin to rust

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2023

Size: 1 Liter or .26 GallonColor: Black (Steel Hoops)Verified Purchase

I ordered this last year. I followed the instructions about putting water in the barrel to allow the wood to swell and all that. Everything seemed fine. Put whisky in the cask in July. Around September I noticed some rusting on the bands on the top put did not think much about it. This was resting on the stand it came with on the bar cart. It was full of whisky as it was more of a fun display piece/something we can use over the holidays. At Christmas I noticed it was about half full and figured the men drank it. Last week I went to rearrange the bar cart and noticed the whole bottom of the metal bands were rusted. Not only that but the wood rotted and leaked all over the cart. The barrel was completely empty. I don't know what happened but the pour spout in the front I think is where the problem started which made the bands wet. The spout fell off when I touched the barrel and the wood is very disintegrated. The barrel basically fell apart in my hands. So, in two months of use there was already an issue. I just didn't realize how bad the issue was. I guess if you buy this make sure you babysit the thing to make sure it doesn't decide to leak.

Really nice! Exactly what my husband wanted

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2023

Size: 1 Liter or .26 GallonColor: Black (Steel Hoops)Verified Purchase

My husband liked that it was great for the size, quality and price. The only complaint I heard was that the instructions were not exactly clear. They required the user to infer them completely. Hopefully, he did it correctly. Maybe clear instructions could be placed on the item web page so that the issue could be resolved or a how to video.

Get some Barrel Wax when you Order them.

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2019

Size: 3 Liter or .8 GallonColor: Black (Steel Hoops)Verified Purchase

So I ordered three 3-liter barrels to age my whiskey in, figured I could rotate bourbons, ryes and whiskeys to infuse more flavor or age some rum, port or sherry in them then age the whiskey. After reading the reviews I was anticipating leaks with the barrels, I followed the directions religiously and was really surprised that after 2 days there were no leaks in any of the barrels. I did the hot water and still no leaks 24 hours later. I then put my whiskey in them and one of them formed a small leak up towards the top at the front of the cask, where the head meets the staves. I figured I would just let it end on it's own and kept a paper towel under it to catch the tiny drips but after a week it was still happening so I ordered some barrel wax and with a small finger amount fixed the problem.

Overall I am really thrilled with them and they have allowed me to take my love for whiskey to a new level.

Size: 2 Liter or .53 GallonColor: Black (Steel Hoops)Verified Purchase

The bung and valve assy are both properly made and no leaks. The barrel and bands are made well. My only comment is that the claim to being 2 liter is not correct. I have a real 2 liter one and this one is a slightly smaller diameter and slightly shorter and holds 1.75 quarts. Other than that, it is just fine.
