Description
2.5 Gallon Charred Oak Barrel
New 2.5 Gallon Charred Oak Barrel. With the amount of surface area in these barrels, aging for 2-3 months is perfect! 3/4″ thick staves and no toxic varnish or sealers just natural wood.
Barrel is drilled for bunghole, and bung is included.
*** Please note the 2.5 gallon barrel does not include a spigot or a spigot hole. If you want a spigot it must be purchased separately. ***
I have gotten 2 barrels from y’all in the past, a 1 and a 2 gallon. They are both filled and will be tapped down the road a bit. Too early to tell how well they’ll age the fill but I will let y’all know once I know. I can tell you now though, that the quality of those barrels is VERY good. Filled them with water to remove any debris and to check for leaks. Absolutely watertight. If the 2 three gallons ones I just got are the same quality, they will be fantastic.
This is my second barrel, well built.
I just received the 3 Gallon barrel. Great price with shipping and arrived soon after I ordered. It sealed up right away after filling it with water and then I rinsed it out a couple of times before filling it with clear brandy. No leaks. Now I will have leave it alone for a little while. So far, very happy with the barrel and it looks good with my assorted size wine barrels!
Great barrels, quality product. With the 3 gallon barrels, 6 weeks will produce decent flavor. I have used my barrels 4 times so far.
Great barrel. The barrel is well built for the most part but one of the slats on the end of the barrel was a bit more than a 16″ thinner than the rest of the end slats. Seems to work ok and no leaks so far. Only hoping it has no effect in the long term.
