VIRGIN OAK VS RECOOPERED (RECYCLED) OAK
A "recoopered barrel" refers to a barrel that has been refurbished/remade. The term "cooper" comes from "cooperage," which is the craft of making barrels. Our recoopered barrels have been reconstructed from larger 200-300L barrels, the process involves breaking them down into smaller staves, assembling new steel bands, shaving back the oak to expose fresh oak and re charring. Resulting in essentially a brand new barrel, but still able to pass on the flavours from the previous liqour held along with subtle notes of oak and char. Resulting in a very unique flavour profile.
Our American Oak range is recoopered from ex Bourbon or Sherry barrels, whereas our French Oak range is recoopered from red wine barrels.

Virgin American Oak means that these barrels are constructed from unused brand new virgin American oak and then given a medium interior char which helps pass on the flavours of the oak and char to your liquor. These barrels typically impart stronger oak and char flavours compared to recoopered barrels which we also stock.

Received my barrel, the instructions were easy to follow to set it up, the curing process was simple and within 3 days had it full of Rum. Super excited to see how it turns out.
Love it! My missus loves it as well. Which is good, as it was a gift for her. Put our first whisky in today. Can't wait! It looks so awesome.
My 3L barrel arrived on time and very well packaged. The quality is superb! Followed the instructions in prepping the barrel and very pleasantly surprised to see that it had no leaks right out of the box.
Currently aging whiskey as we speak.
I filled it with water for a day and a half and not one leak, have now filled it up with my whisky blend😁 and already tastes great😁 looks fantastic in its place also👍
Extremely satisfied 💕netball my expectations fully. After seasoning the jegs added 2 different mudcats for this period and hope eventually to try a Topaque in one , tawny in the other. Depends on which muscat impressed most.
I love it and keep looking to see any colour changes
I am very pleased with the new barrel i am going to put my brandy in it 😀 😊 😁 😄 😎
Excellent product, quick delivery and value for money. Could not be happier.
I have had a great experience purchasing my 50L barrel from Adelaide wine barrel. They have been great to communicate with and transactions was smooth. They also give some awesome tips on how to get the best out of the barrel including some tips on additives like adding Jacks to my port in which has made a massive difference. The barrel and content safely arrived even tho the box was a bit damaged. The barrel was well sealed well with cling wrap to seal any air from shrinking the timber. There was clear indication on hydrating the barrel to seal up leaks and wax provided for the troublesome leaks. Thankfully my barrel only took about 5 hours to stop dripping and about 24 hours for the barrel to completely seal to the point where the outside of the barrel is completely dry. I am absolutely stoked with that. I have loaded my barrel with port and after 1 week can notice a difference already, can’t wait to taste it after 6 months to a years time. If I was to pick on anything, i mean nit picking, it would be the stand or cradle for the barrel. It appears to be a soft wood pine or something like that that doesn’t match the colour of the barrel. It would be nice if it was the same timber or similar looking timber as the barrel. Anyway I want to give a big thank you to Adelaide wine barrel for such a great product overall. Well done Adelaide barrels.
Quality from unboxing the barrel, sealing and curing instructions easy to understand and apply, I’ve got a single barrel shamrock already inside and maturing I can’t wait to try
Wonderful fragrance from the french oak. I could stop smelling the aroma. I poured some bourbon and then scotch to give them a beautiful finishing flavor. A really great product. Thankyou.
From receiving my barrel I was super impressed, so well made. The instructions were perfect and easy to follow and backed up with online instructions. Even the water from the rinsing smelled and looked good. My Brandy, that my son made for me is currently aging and I am counting the days. I will be buying another very soon. Excellent quality and great communication whilst I was waiting for mine to arrive.
Great quality as always. 2x 25L, sealed up in a few day, now ready for a year or two doing what they do best.
Arrived on time… and it’s a well built keg. Even thinking about another one already n great service thanks
Quality Product. Great Advice & Great Price!
Well crafted 5litre American Oak barrel made from an Ex Bourbon barrel, excellent work! Highly recommended, hope that Adelaide Wine Barrels get their hands on some mulberry barrels and do the same.
We’ve just tried one of the 15L French oak recoopered barrels for some product testing. Our second from Adelaide wine barrels. The quality and workmanship are outstanding. Plus having these effective on hand when needed is fantastic.
Good quality wood, finish was a bit rough on the outside and the metal barrel straps were razor sharp cut myself as I was opening out of packaging.
I am still in the "seasoning" stage for this barrel but it looks lovely and I can totally see enjoying seeing my whisky age through the glass ends - great!
OMG. These are just fantastic. Quality is second to none. They way they were boxed, packed and presented was amazing. I have my first whiskey brew in them now getting ready for Xmas drinks. We bought one for my father as a gift, the 1.5ltr. It looks so good on the kitchen bench. Just love them. Thanks Adelaide Wine Barrels.
