I bought this product to add a Smokey flavor to some spirits I brought back from overseas. Followed the instructions as written but still leaked. The first batch got absorbed into the barrel wood, now has the spirit smell.7 months later with water in it finally looks like it sealed but wood is showing swell cracks on the end caps.

I left water in it for the first week, went from really bad leak to a little leak. I thought it had stopped and put my alcohol in it and placed it outside for real weather action and it started leaking again. I won't get this again.

2週間ほどでウイスキーに香りがつき安いウイスキーがロックでも楽しめるほど熟成されました。海外からの輸送でしたが、担当の方から細かく配送状況を連絡いただけたので安心して待つことができました。ビジュアルも高級感があり大満足でした。

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.

I bought the 20 liter cask, and I could not be happier. Looks to be very well made, and I may be lucky, but after filling with very hot water, there appear to be only a few seeping leaks, no big issues. The cradle on the other hand has hammer marks, where they pounded one end to put it together, although not a deal breaker. I'll just put that side to the wall. Otherwise I am extremely pleased, and will be purchasing another one in the near future, as long as Amazon doesn't raise the price.

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.

I got one of these, and it leaked HORRENDOUSLY! Luckily, the seller was great to work with. They sent me some barrel wax to use in an attempt to solve the problem before sending a new barrel. Unfortunately l, it still didn’t fix the leak, so they sent a new barrel. The new barrel is holding water MUCH better so far…. Only one day, but I could immediately see a difference. It looks like a few slots are glued, and I’m not sure if that’s normal for a barrel…. But hey, so far it looks like it’s working haha. I’m not sure what the flavor will be like, but it smells pretty good, so I’m excited to find out. I’ll update the review in a few days regarding the water tightness of the container!

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!
