VIRGIN OAK VS RECOOPERED (recycled) OAK
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.

A "recoopered barrel" refers to a barrel that has been refurbished. 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.

Really happy with this 6.8L American oak BADMO style barrel. It's well made and extremely affordable compared to other options I've looked at. The threaded bung is a really nice feature and much better than a standard push in bung. The tap is good quality and the included stand is a nice bonus.
The oak looks good and the medium char seems nicely done. Overall everything feels solid and well put together. I haven't had spirits in it long enough to judge the oak itself yet, so time will tell on that one, but so far I'm very happy with it. 5/5.
6.8L American Oak X Stainless Steel Barrel, very happy with my purchase. Already filled.
Received a new 6.8 litre barrel to fill with single malt whisky. The build quality is amazing, no leaks when pre filled with water. Great stuff!! Can’t wait to see the transformation of the single malt in a year or so
Looks good can’t wait to fill it
Small barrels are nice as you don't need to buy thousands of dollars worth of product to age. But smaller barrels give too much oak impact too fast without any time. This is where these barrel shine. Mimics the 200L barrel for surface to liquid ratio but only need 7L of product. It's a win from me. I look forward to when they release a French oak variant
Fast shipping, great product, looking awesome and great quality, no leaks detected. Now waiting to get it filled with something worthwhile.
The order arrived promptly & was exactly as described. Very happy with Adelaide Wine Barrels product & service.
Arrived promptly. As described. Great product. It's now full.
Awesome little barrel arrived quickly, leak test perfect, filled with good stuff now waiting to get better with age 🙂
Barrel is flawless, looks immaculate and zero leaks from day 1, I look forward to the end product.
The barrel is well made and comes with a stand to sit on. The delivery was prompt and I look forward to filling it up with my favourite spirit.
Good quality, good price and fast shipping. Very happy with the product
