Hard to Find Single Use Whiskey Barrels - Refillable
Rare hard to find small whiskey single use barrels. This is a mixed lot from Reservoir distillery in Virginia. The distillery used them for Rye, Bourbon (sold out), or Wheat, but only one time. Yes, they are empty but refillable. Then they found their way to us. Use them for your own spirits or as decoration, wastebaskets, stools, maybe a small ice chest. Of course, you might think of another way to use them. If you have a need, these barrels may be perfect for you. Watch as your small barrel become a conversation piece in your home.
UNIQUE: The 5 gallon small barrel is a real oak whiskey barrel. We only have the 4 hoop version left.
INCLUDED: Barrels may have wood bungs, temporary bungs or no bungs, whichever came with the barrel. In some cases, you may want to replace the bung.
CAUTION: If putting liquid in them, before first use, make sure to soak the barrel to swell the wood until it stops weeping and then sanitize it, usually 3-7 days (sometimes longer).
Barrels will ship within 1 week after payment.

Bought for my fellow wine maker. Followed the instructions and it has been a month with no leaks or seepage. Very pleased. Also smelled great. Should make a fine whiskey infused wine.
Pleased with this barrel however it has a crack across grain in one stave. Wax sealed it Price was fair but shipping was not. Only time will tell.
I work at a children's museum and we are modifying our barrel to be a small horse for our toddler farm exhibit. It's very solid so it should hold up really well.
The barrel was well packaged so that it was not damaged during shipping. The barrel smelled great. I am using it to age some fortified wine. Very happy with my purchase!
