Free shipping with orders over $250. Shipping barrels can be really expensive nowadays, so this is likely a really good deal, even though the barrels can likely be found cheaper elsewhere.

Thanks Do you think the spigot would be an aggravation?

Hard to say. But if it leaks, you could pull it out and drive a bung in there.

Your correct, I called they said they'd send a bung with order. I am going to try one. If I like them I'll order more.
Thanks again for the reply.

I look forward to hearing about your experience. I can easily spend a quick $250 there if they work out well for you.

Those aren't neutral, though; right?

Looks like their 20L barrel is ~$175. That's about the same as a 23 liter Vadai barrel.

Correct, they are not neutral, and the price is the same or very close to it. I was hoping to find some neutral barrels for the discount. I am calling to check on the Vadai today. I thought they were on backorder, so I'll check to make sure. The free shipping does sound good though.

It does, but you have to buy at least two barrels to qualify.

True. The Vadai may be a better quality also, I just have no experience with barrels to know if this would be true.

My $0.02 here. I would never buy a barrel with a spigot. There is no need/use for a spigot and its just another source for leaks or breakage if you bump into it hard enough. To me these barrels are designed for spirits etc. Plus they are American Oak. Make sure you love, love, love yourself some American Oak cause a little of it goes a long way. I may have 1-2 (23L) Vadai's (neutral) up for sale sometime later this year. I am trying out Flextanks right now and I may be willing to part with several barrels if the Flextanks perform as advertised.
