Good affordable barrel!
This is a really good barrel for the money! However, since it is an economy barrel, plan on it leaking through the staves upon arrival. It may require complete submerging in clean water, with bung and petcock holes open, for as long as three days before it will hold liquor without weeping. After that, it should work well. BTW, an oak barrel any smaller than this will require more frequent "topping off" as a result of a much poorer surface to volume ratio. "Angels share" is just a kind cute name for evaporation! ; )
