These barrels are terribly made. As soon as I receive it, two of the metal rings on it were loose. There were tons of wood splinters inside of the barrel that I was not able to get out.After that I decided to fill the barrel any way and it turned out it is leaky just about everywhere.It is now in my trash because all it did for me was waist a bottle of whiskey.$55 for the barrel and $35 for the whiskey. And expensive waist.

It has been filled with water for five days and appears to water tight now. It is so water tight in fact that the spout will not drain any liquid, simple fix though. The barrel is attractive and seems to have already been coated with a wax product. I have not put any alcohol type product into it.Update: it is June and I now have 1 liter of a home distilled whiskey in the barrel. I'm glad I waited. I kept the barrel filled with filtered water the entire time; roughly 3 months. There was a little bit of leakage after the initial 5 days, so I didn't get into a hurry to fill it with spirits. I rotated the barrel as it sat. I kept it on a plate to catch moisture. There was some staining of the wood and rusting of the metal bands, but don't let that be a deterrent. The spigot flows well if the cork is removed. There is a nice vanilla odor coming from the barrel with the spirit in it and it is taking on a nice brown color.

This is a decent barrel for a starter to help you learn and determine if it is something you want to continue doing. I cleaned mine out properly and submitted it to a 2-week water soak. It still has a small but pretty consistent leak from behind the front barrel ring near the spigot.I tried sealing it with wax but have not been able to fully stop it from leaking.I am happy with the flavor it gives to the whiskeys I've made so far. I am still learning but would rather not have my product leaking out all the time.

インテリア用として購入しました何も入れないのは勿体無いため説明書やインターネットで使用方法を調べてからワインを入れてみましたが、漏れますねあとは作りが雑だと感じます

Updated:Product is really good. The spigot is the weakest point and leaks. The company sent me a new one, which is better but still leaking a bit from the top of the spigot. I can put wax around it but then it'll go away each time I twist the handle to get a pour. Overall the quality is really good and the company was quick to assist in helping address the issue I originally had with the leaking.

I love this guy. I bought the 2 liter one and followed the instructions for prepping it with water. Let it sit for about a week. The first couple of days a had a minimal amount of leakage (enough to dampen a paper towel, but not soak it), but after that nothing.I first tried some Bullit Rye (1.75L). The size of the barrel is deceptive, as I thought "no way is this all going to fit", but it did. After about 10 days, the taste was noticeably oakier. Not sure how much more flavor it would add if aged longer, as it only made it to about day 14.Trying some Old Crow (about $20 around here for 1.75L), so curious to see what this can do for some cheaper whiskey. Will update when I've tried it.

I was honestly a little worried about ordering this items after reading reviews but thought I would give it a try.I even purchased from another seller some barrel wax to seal it if it wouldn’t seal correctly.When I received the barrel I first read the directions. And if you know a engineer we never do that.First thing I noticed was what they tell you to do here on there amazon page and what peoplewere complaining about and are doing don’t match the directions the barrel comes with.Does the barrel leak when you fill it with water the first time, absolutely.The barrel needs to seal its self and the barrel needs to soak up the water into the barrel walls which is a lot better then your booze.The first 24 hours it leaked around a teaspoon and I filled it back up with just over 1 1/2 oz of water.At 48 hours it was still leaking a little but not as much around 1/4 teaspoon spot under the barrel.Refilled the barrel with water adding just over 1.5 oz.Now on 72 hour mark, it’s still leaks or was and it seemed sealed the bottom is mostly dry. Had a water spot the size of a pea under it.Added 1/2oz of water and closed it back up.Day 4 and 5 no leaks, just added a little water on day 4 to make sure it was 100% full.Day 6, I empty the barrel of water out and let drain for an hour and then filled it with my trial run booze.It’s now been a week with no leaks, I can already can tell the liquor inside is already changing and am looking forward to checking it each week.So this reviews is for Engineers and those that don’t follow directions … LOLThe directions say to fill with water and let seat for 4-5 days to fully seal your barrel NOT 4-6 hours or over night or 24 hours.Also the barrel soaked up almost 4 oz of water over 4 days. Be sure to keep it filled so your booze isn’t what’s being soaked up.Good Luck and Cheers!

Looks nice but 2 hoops popped off when seasoning the barrel. Haven't got to age any spirit yet.
