Review: These work great if you temper them first! I've got four. - Have had four good barrels (a 2L and 3 5Ls). Make sure you prep it when you receive it! I see some people complaining about leaky barrels, and I'm sure it happens, but so far we've had no problems at all. I bought the barrel wax, but so far it's completely wasted. Just make sure that when you get it you put the spout in (and make sure it's closed, far left or right), then fill the keg with boiling water and put the top cork in! This is 'tempering' and will make the oak swell to prevent leaks. If it's leaking after a couple hours (when the wood has had time to swell) then it's time to deploy the barrel wax. If that still doesn't work you might have a bad keg (hasn't happened with these for me, cross fingers). Then when you're ready to use it (after at least a day tempering), remove the spout, pop the top cork, then flip it upside down and let it drain from the 'top', just because that has a larger hole. There will be a lot of charred oak shards, which is fine! This just shows your good stuff is in contact with charred wood. If you go a long time before you use it again and the inside dries out, you might consider re-tempering it before you use it.
Review: Make sure the Spicket is closed. The barrel doesn’t leak. - OK, here’s something. Everyone should know this is a pretty great product in order for it to work. You have to do two things first step one immerse the entire barrel and water for one hour. If you wanna make sure it doesn’t leak allow two hours soak time once you’ve soaked it rinse it. It is already got a wonderful oak smell, and in order to make the wine more delicious so the recommendation is don’t spoil the gift. I’ve heard other people complain about this product but likely they didn’t pre-soak the barrel for lengthy enough time in order for the wood to expand, and or they got the product and allowed it to sit without anything inside of it for too long a time, allowing the barrel to dry out it is important not to allow the barrel to dry out as it will shrink. If the barrel has left too long with nothing inside of it, this will cause it to shrink. The barrel is meant always to have liquid inside of it and the barrel is meant to swell with wine this tightening the rings and preventing leakage. The product is for wine and Brandy whiskey or what other beverages are placed inside I got my barrel for wine making I tested it filled with water. Let it soak or sit there for almost 5 hours when I was sure it would not leak. I filled it with wine. It has been a day and 1/2 and there are zero leaks so I wanted to come and I wanted to leave this review for anyone who is considering this product first also you should know that this is a test barrel. This is not a full-size wine barrel. It is a test barrel to taste a little bit of the product without having to get air in a larger Batch. so for anyone who’s considering this product I would say it’s a definite buy. Also I would recommend pre-soaking test of just water before you put any of your favorite drink inside. If it doesn’t spill out within 24 hours you did it right I think it’s a fantastic product would like morehand crafted products like this. Its durable rusticly charming. Great for small batches of sample wine. as far as the Spicket goes, make sure that it is tightly turned and tightly closed, and there should be no leaking once I adjusted the Spicket. There was no leaks at all something to be aware of double check after using it that you’ve returned the Spicket or return the nozzle so that is closed and you won’t have any leaks. I waited 24 hours I checked again. There were no leaks Spicket completely dry so this is why I’m recommending. Don’t miss out on this product. It’s a good product.

## Features

- HOW DOES A SMALL 3 LITER OAK AGING BARREL WORK? Due to the high proportion of liquid in contact with the toasted mini wooden barrel interior, spirits can age up to 10x faster than a larger, commercial sized whiskey bourbon barrel, giving a balanced and aged flavor to alcohol in weeks rather than years.
- FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS on how to cure your handcrafted 3 Ltr Thousand Oaks barrel and start sampling aged whiskey, bourbon or wine after just a few days. If desired, add a Swish Barrel Essence Flavoring (not included) and in two weeks, your one-of-a-kind liquor blend will be aged to perfection and ready to serve straight from the tap. Pour into a liquor decanter to stop the aging process.
- BARREL AGED COCKTAILS - Extract natural flavor from the charred American oak barrel interior (such as vanilla, sweet spices and coconut ) and infuse them into any cocktail drink: Manhattan, Martini, Negroni, Old Fashioned, Sazerac, Mint Julep and many more.
- Our oak barrels for aging whiskey are made from new American wood staves, charred to a medium-high level for maximum flavor. Great for all spirits, whisky, Kentucky Bourbon or wine. Personalized versions also available.
- USE FOR MULTIPLE AGING CYCLES - a 3 liter barrel keg can be used for many years and makes for great bar-restaurant liquor dispenser or addition to any man cave liquor cabinet. Unique gift for any whiskey or bourbon enthusiast. Included: one 3L oak barrel with wooden stand, bung, spigot, funnel and instruction booklet.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many times would you be able to reuse this?**
A: Not sure but I'm on second use with no deterioration in taste.

**Q: Is the Barrel available without a shellac finish?**
A: Yes, you can message us and let us know that you prefer an unfinished, natural wood barrel. We stock both

**Q: I did not recieve instructions woth my barrel. Is there someplace i can get them online?**
A: Please message us so that we have your order number and we will send you the intstructions in pdf format.

**Q: One of the barrels says it's 5l or 1 gallon. but a gallon is 3.78 l. so, which size is it?**
A: Barrels are not precise in size because each piece of wood (each stave) is different in curve and thickness, and therefore each barrel can have size/capacity variation. It is a 5L barrel, but it will not hold exactly 5L or exactly 1 gallon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great results were amazing.
*by C***D on January 27, 2026*

The size was bigger than I had envisioned but actually turned out to be perfect. I aged Reposado Tequila in this barrel and drew a shot out after 4 weeks and wow it was Anejo good. After 8 weeks Anejo plus almost to smooth. Lots of oak and molasses with a hint of smokey tones. Make sure you follow the directions to get your barrel cured and sealed up. I had no leaks the barrel rings did tighten as the barrel swelled. I followed the instructions and it worked out great for us.
