Source for small used whiskey barrels?

Post by Pamulli »

Does anyone have a source for good small used whiskey barrels? Ideally in the 3 gallon range. I know Tuthilltown sells some 5 gallon barrels, but that is a bit large for me and they are a little pricey. I don't get to do this enough to reach 5 gallons in a reasonable time.

Thanks,

Never tried them but I read a review that stated the Gibbs Brothers were consultants ...

Check out this website, I am ordering two 5L barrels today as I tried brewhaus.com and they are out of stock on all their barrels. When checking the reviews it looks like they are good barrels.

I have two 20 liter barrels and one 10 liter from this company. I'm very satisfied with the company. Quality product and fast shipping. :thumbup:
