So cool, received my eBay barrel today. Made in Mexico over the past two weeks with our "Roll Out the Barrel" request burned into the face.
It's 5 gallons made from American White Oak. Charred over a fire of white oak chips.
It is wonderfully heavy totally empty and finished nicely on the outside.
Right now it's rehydrating with water and not showing any signs of leaks. I'm following the instructions that say to allow it to hydrate for several days to keep it from hydrating itself with our wine.
It's gonna be a nice addition to our lineup.
$133 bucks delivered. We like.
