Sofia's Findings Personalized - Custom American White Oak Bourbon Aging Barrel - Oak Barrel Aged (3 Liters, Black Hoops)

Started the curing process, slight leak in 1 place so far but it's expected. Really nice construction, love the etching - just the way we wanted it! Whether for decoration or barrel aging some spirits this is a really cool set-up and very well made. BTW, took 4 days from order to delivery-thx! UPDATE: 48 hrs later and no leaks. Moved indoors & outdoors x 2 days to cycle the temps.

I have followed the instructions to the letter, after a month it continues to leak, I bought two more barrels that stopped leaking after two days, the first one I buy no, the purchase is an adventure, some will work, others will not.The barrel wax he recommends placing only works at x temperature, melts and drips again.Do not get it wet on the outside, that oxidizes the metal bands, it is a mistake that should not be recommended.The engraving is lost when wet on the outside, do not do anything to the engraving because the color will fade and darken its surroundings.UPDATE: I made a claim and they sent me a new one, it works perfectly, no leak.

I have not had a chance to use the item yet, but read enough reviews to know that it is not a novelty item and will be treated serious once we do. The seller was extremely quick to respond to all requests through messages. Was very accepting to using multiple fonts, requested I send specifics through messaging, and responded that they had been received and would be applied. Unfortunately, this didn't actually happen and the the item was received in a single font. However, the seller was very quick again to respond and immediately offered a solution to the problem that we both agreed to.

This product is a rip off. Cant return because it's custom. It's just junk. I followed instructions and after a week it still leaks Do not buy

Followed the instructions to seal the barrel and it worked flawlessly. After 2 days the barrel stopped leaking and is completely sealed. Getting ready to make my first batch of old fashioned. You need make sure the exterior also prepped correctly and dried off. The barrel rings will bleed a little if you don't dry it completely. Overall very happy.
