they hold
liquids? Whiskey and wine barrels make great rain barrels, but they do take a lot of care compared to our Plastic Rain Barrels. *All of our whiskey and wine barrels are made
to hold liquids and have done so for many years. If barrels are allowed to dry out the wood will shrink, the hoops can
loosen (this can cause leaks). You will have to rehydrate the barrel and may have to tighten up the hoops. To tighten up
the hoops tap them in toward the center of the barrel, this will squeeze the
staves together and stop most leaks. Make sure you tap all hoops in. This means
you will have to turn the barrel over and tap the lower hoops in as well. This is why it is important to keep the barrel from drying out. If you want to use them for brewing
or
wine
making we recommend the SELECT
or
NEW barrel. The same goes for our Wine Barrels. We
sell wooden wedges and spiles used by the cooperages to stop leaks. If
you have a stubborn leak you may need one of these. They are driven in
the stave next to the leaking joint, in most cases it will stop the leak. You
get 5 wedges and 5 spiles for $8.00, includes shipping. If you have a
leek that you can't stop, cut the barrel in half and you have 2 nice
planters.
*THE FLAWED NEW WINE AND FLAWED NEW BOURBON BARRELS MAY NOT HOLD LIQUIDS (Vintage barrels may not hold liquids)We cannot be responsible for any wood boring insects that may attack your barrels. If you are going to use them outside you should be aware that insects may attack the barrels as they would any untreated wood. (NOTE: These barrels and any rain water collection systems can quickly be filled and begin to overflow. Take this into consideration when using any rain water collection system). IMPORTANT: RAIN BARRELS MUST BE KEPT FROM FREEZING IN THE WINTER. DRAIN THEM, AND BRING THEM INSIDE IF NECESSARY ( best to drain them and leave them outside ) |
| Each barrel is shipped with a bung in the bung hole. You may have to tap the bung in to tighten it up. We do have new and used bungs for sale. |
 *Using
them
for decoration,
displays, storage or trash
containers
(Click here to learn more)
Barrels have
other uses besides
holding liquids. If you use the barrels for
decoration, as a
trash receptacle or
for
storage, The barrel will dry out. As the barrel dries out the wood will
shrink and the bottom
hoops may drop off. In order to prevent this we recommend you drive a
self drilling screw into each side of the hoops. We do
this to the half barrel
planters.
Here
you see a picture of a self drilling screw in the barrel hoop. This holds
the hoop in place. We use a Self Drilling Pan Phillips 8-18 x 3/4. You
can get them from any hardware store or home center. They go in very
easy using a regular drill with a Phillips driver bit. It is better to use screws than nails. Using screws allows you to tighten the hoops up if needed, you can't do this if they are nailed in. We can secure the hoops for you for $10.00 per barrel. |
| What do they look like?
Our genuine white oak Kentucky whiskey barrels look GREAT! (they may
need a little cleaning up, they come straight from our distillery
warehouses to you). The
many years spent in
century old warehouses where they react to the change in seasons we
experience here in Kentucky makes for a very beautiful patina on
our vintage barrels.
Our VINTAGE barrels may have been
reused to make other Kentucky whiskies or brandy. Our new and used barrels are
bought by motion
picture studios, prop
departments, and parks. You've seen our barrels in movies, TV programs,
the local amusement park, pub, restaurant, and golf
course. Some Vintage barrels may have a superficial crack in a stave. this does not affect the barrel in any way (a stave is the oak slats that makeup the body of the barrel). Our SELECT
barrels have been used only once to make Bourbon, however they
will not look like new barrels, they have been in the warehouse for
from 4 to 18 years. All whiskey barrels are
charred on the inside. If you want the new looking barrels we suggest you
buy our NEW
barrels. NOTE:
The barrels and barrel half planters you receive may not look exactly like the barrels pictured
on our links. Pictures are representative of the barrel grades, no two
barrels will look exactly alike. NOTE: Our new and used Wine Barrels and Wine Barrel Staves are not charred on the inside, they are lightly toasted. |
| Barrel Finish Our barrels are shipped just as they are made, and that is without a finish. Because they are used to age the best whiskey in the world they have to be all natural. Our customers use the barrels for many different things. Some make furniture and put finishes on the barrels. Because there are so many different types of stains and finishes available we cannot suggest or recommend one over another. Consult your local lumber yard or home center, they may be able to recommend a finish for you. Finish as you would any natural wood. We cannot be responsible for any insects that may attack your barrels. If you are going to use them outside you should be aware that insects may attack the barrels as they would any untreated wood. |
| Is there an odor? These white oak barrels have held Kentucky Bourbon for many years. With the change of seasons the whiskey works itself in and out of the oak giving it its unique flavor and color. Some of our barrels have been reused to make other whiskies or brandy. So our used barrels do have an odor. Here in Kentucky the wonderful Bourbon odor is called "the angles share". We believe it is a very pleasant order and is one of the perks of working with these great barrels. To lessen the odor you can rinse the barrels with hot water. The odor will go away eventually. If you don't want the odor we suggest you order the NEW barrels. |
