got to thank you guys for the reference to oakbarrelsltd.com in the aging threads.
i have been looking for some reasonably priced small barrels and they have them!
just ordered 2 of the 5 litre and 1of the 2 litre sizes(had to get over $99.95 for the free shipping to my friends place in Niagara Falls N.Y.)
just exited so had to post. the same size 5 litre barrels from a local place close to me in Canada is over $125.00 compared to $49.95 and doesn't include the stand or spigot.
I am not affilated with this vendor but wanted to let everyone know the great price.

I bought one of their 5 gal barrels about a couple of years ago. The only issue I had was the spigot and the bung both split on me. The barrel itself worked great though.
I have 2 of their 5.3 gallon barrels that ive used once each (and one of their 3 gallon ? That I haven't used yet). They've been great but I just filled one for the second time and noticed my spigot also cracked and has a small leak. The barrel is still perfect though. I have no problem ordering a new spigot for the great deal they offer.

Have had rum in the 5.3 gal one now for 5 weeks and no problem and seem to be good,but like someone before me said the char is way to light,all and all a good barrel for the price 65 shipping included to upstate NY(I ordered from oak barrel LTD)
I have been thinking about gettin a couple barrels... maybe just a couple liters each... would look cool on the counter and be doing some other good at the same time!! damn things are high as giraffe ass though
South....waaaaaayyyy south bayou blood can be as potent as that clear stuff coming out the still..
