my parents used to have an actual jack daniels barrel from their distillery. had
i knew a guy who lived close to the beam distillery awhile back. Him and his friends would buy te barrels and put a coupe gallons of water in them and roll it all day long then take it out. The wood has so much whisky absorbed in it that they could do this 2-3 times and get some good cheap whisky.

That's looks exactly like the one i have. Balcones Blue Corn Whiskey from Texas. I'm about to order some storing and cleaning tablets for barrels, and a new bung, and probably a spigot so i can pour into bottles/kegs better.

Have you heard anything about when your barrel is coming in?


3-4 weeks... I think it's also from Balcone's in Texas. Probably the exact same stock at BugAC's barrel.

I had actually asked that before brewstock put that add out on FB, I was talking about how you reserved one forever ago.
