Homebrewers and distillers, this is a real deal 15-gallon American white oak barrel that was previously used to age rye whiskey for over 2 years. That means the wood is already 'seasoned' and will impart amazing flavors of oak, vanilla, and subtle rye spice to whatever you put in it next. Perfect for aging a batch of homebrew beer (like imperial stout or barleywine), wine, cider, mead, or even your own spirits. The barrel size is about 18\ in diameter by 24\ tall. It comes with a lid and a spare cork. Using a barrel like this adds incredible complexity you can't get from chips or cubes. It's also a beautiful decorative piece for a man cave or bar. Note: Used barrels need to be kept full and sealed to prevent them from drying out and leaking. A fantastic tool for serious craft beverage enthusiasts.
