Is Standing Up to Lots of Use
I have now aged four different Bourbons at least 8 weeks each. I have kept liquid in it the whole time so it would not dry out. I have not had any leaks and the Bourbon still has hints of vanilla from the oak.I highly recommend it.

Great gift!
I ordered this for my oldest son for Christmas. He loved the customization and the barrel in general. Shipping was fast and everything was correct on the personalization. Be mindful though, this is a small barrel. It's made for one bottle of whiskey.

Fabulous
Absolutely great. Truly makes the Jim Beam even better than it is. Smooth going down rather than the burn down the throat taste. Amazing. Would definitely buy again.

very pleased with the engraving
i was very pleased with the engraving and overall craftmanship of the barrel but not so much with the outside finish. it appears that it was given a clear coat that was put on way to heavy and it made runs all over and the holder seemed to be just thrown together, but thats not as big of a deal to me as i will make one that matches better

If you are in the market for a personalized oak barrel, BUY this one.
I bought this barrel in Jan. 2020 and wanted to use it several months before writing a review.First, the personalization was perfect. Letters were perfectly carved and exactly as I had requested.Most importantly, the barrel itself. I seasoned the barrel as they advise and once done, I filled it with the cheapest sour mash I could find. After allowing it to age for two weeks, I sampled it. It tasted exactly like Jack Daniels Single Barrel. I even had my father try it and didn’t tell him what it was. (He only drinks JD Single Barrel and knows immediately when he tastes something else) He didn’t know the difference. Keep in mind that the aging process is a lot faster in these smaller barrels due to the smaller surface area inside.I have been using this barrel since January and it’s the same great taste every time. Doesn’t leak either. Well worth the $100 investment.

Good but slow shipping
Great present i gave to my brother for christmas. As far as the craftsmanship and quality of the barrel its amazing. I do wish the valve was of better material instead of it being wooden. Dont get me wrong it does the job but i think it'd look classier and nicer with some kind of finish to it. As long as you aren't pressed for time to give this as a gift to someone then i'd recommend. But if you are up against a deadline of when you need to give the present.... i dont think it'd be the right fit.
