Where can I get a medium sized wooden barrel...one that looks like a whiskey barrel?

I am making a "Beer %26amp; Whiskey" themed gift basket for someone and I need a medium sized barrel to use. Something that looks like a whiskey barrel, but not as huge, and I have no idea where I could go to buy one. Any suggestions?

You can buy mini barrels on eBay or from http://www.1000oaksbarrel.com/. People use these to further mature whisk(e)y.





Because they are smaller than the usual barrels used for maturation, a great proportion of the liquid is in contact with the wood surface and it matures faster.

Reply:If you are talking about an Oak barrel used for Wine making as well.. Wine making shops have em. Not sure if I have seen one that is smaller than about 5 gallons though. And they are very expensive.
Reply:this might sound like a stupid suggestion, but i know getting barrels from the whisky bond can be VERY expensive, they are approx £100/$200 each, i recently enquired


why not try the local garden centre, they do various sizes in various materials, wood/resin/stone to use as garden planters, a resin one would be cheap, and whilst not 100% authentic, will give the overall idea of what you are trying to produce
