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

いくつかの樽を購入、使用していますが、粗悪品です。

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 arrived. I unpacked and read the instructions. Looks very nice. Just filled it with boiling water. oh and both holes were not fully drilled, which I think is a good thing. As I filled it The smell was intoxicating, I could smell the char inside. I will let you all know in 3-4 days. .....Day 8--- tried a sample, much better and stronger. started with an inexpensive bourbon (Very old Barton). the taste was much improved and ABV was increased (normal) I will leave it for 1 more week and try it again.15 days in the barrel improved the taste. Next batch was an Old Fashion with Maker's Mark and simple syrup and orange bitters. Tried it after 10 days, and improved but leaving it for a month and see. Oh, BTW the angle share increases the ABV a lot!!

I love whisk(e)y. I love old fashions, manhattans, and other drinks made with whisky. I also love sipping good whisky neat. My first batch with the barrel was to put some Jim Beam in it. I am talking the basic, $20 for 1.75 litre bottle of Jim Beam that I only use for everyday type drinks. For instance, I will use this to make old fashions on a weeknight before dinner. So i filled up the barrel with this (after doing the preparations listed in the instructions--make sure you do that!). I tasted a sip every two or three days over a four-week period. At the end of four weeks, it tasted like good sip-able whisky, not anything to get all excited about, but certainly enjoyable. I would think that leaving it in there another 8 weeks (for a total of 12) would make it quite good.The next batch was to take the barrel-aged Jim Beam and make a batch of old fashions. I then filled the barrel back up with this and let it age another 4 weeks. Not bad at all. As good or better than the barrel-aged drinks you get at a bar.For the third batch, I started with the basic Jim Beam again, but this time I am going to let stay in there for 8 weeks. Still have 4 more weeks to go on that, so will have to let you know....
