I have been researching aging barrels for a while and came across Red Head Barrells while shopping on Amazon. After reading the reviews, I pulled the trigger and ordered myself one. It arrived very fast and was well packaged. I followed the instructions and fortunately had no leaks the first day. It is currently sitting with some bourbon in it and waiting for the process to happen. I am looking forward to tasting the results soon. Thanks for a quality product!After a few months of use , I have opted to change my review. The product did not taste better, actually worse. An attempt was made to contact the manufacturer. No positive results have happened.

So, this is my second 2 ltr aging barrel, but the 1st one from Red Head Barrels. First, I have the say the engraving is fantastic - exactly what I was going for. During the initial 'hydrating' period for the keg, I had 0 leaks during the process. I changed out the water daily for a week to ensure the wood was thoroughly soaked, and not a single leak during the process. There was 1 minor hiccup, in that the spigot handle did not turn properly - it wouldn't open the tap. But I reached out to Red Head and they responded very quickly, apologized for the issue, and sent me 2 replacement spigots free of charge.Now, I'm aging some actual Amontillado sherry in the keg, then will rotate with aging an islay scotch.Overall, it's an excellent product, with absolutely no complaints on my side.

Great product. Very pleased with the speed of delivery for a custom design. The char is great and instructions included are very helpful for success in flavoring bourbon.

Very pleased with my purchase. The engraving was exactly what I wanted, perfect. Very fine craftsmanship on the barrel compare to the cheaper ones we have bought in the past. Curing the barrel per directions , there were no issues with leaks. Will be back to purchase another barrel when the time comes.Will update once we sample the product after aging.

Bought this for my husband's birthday as he is a Bourbon drinker and likes to try new brands. Now he gets to experiment with making his own. He's really enjoying it. Personalization of the barrel was really nice!

Too early to say what my first batch will taste like since waiting a month to tap it, but easily 5 stars for quality construction and looks for this 3 liter. Barrel and stand very solid. No flaws to be seen. Followed instructions and filled with water for curing. Was a small leak at one spot that stopped after about 36 hours. Been filled with booze for a week and not a drop leaking anywhere. The engraving looks great as well and they sent a bonus shot glass!

Custom engraving was really well done. It took a while to get the barrel to seal up and the tap leaks a little but I will buy more of these. I have a bourbon/the blend aging right now, I want to do a barrel aged tequila. These make great gifts.
