Customer Reviews
It’s a decent barrel, rated it 5 ⭐️
I was shopping specifically for well aged wet bourbon barrel, with the bonus of high rye content. Midwest delivered. Because the barrel is older than any barrel I have acquired before, I was expecting something well worn, scratched and dented; which I got, however the bung stave was damaged pretty badly with some bulging and deep cracking. After filling the barrel, and setting a new bung, there have been zero problems, and I don’t predict any major issues. I was a little surprised this barrel met a quality standard, simply because once seeing the damage which is likely benign, it doesn’t give you a confidence level that your aging spirit may not end up a total loss, risking a lot of time, effort and money. The worry takes a bit of the fun out of the project. Otherwise always happy with Midwestern.
