Sources for barrels in Canada
Where do you Canadians get barrels from? What is the best source? Most affordable, best quality, etc? Are they using air dried wood etc?

You hear crickets? I hear crickets?
Have not had any good experiences myself...
I can get full sized whisky and wine barrels any time. Small appropriately sized barrels are hard to get... unless you like glued barrels.

I think I can get proper oak barrels without glue but they are close to $300 plus shipping.

Bochart barrel was glued together. From Toronto.
Asked Gibbs for a shipping quote today. with exchange and shipping I bet it will be well over $300 Canadian.
