Yes.Do you mean put a clock face on the barrel end?
Reply 2. Just thinking possibly stupidly but for people who have no interest in Whiskey I am sure you could use the barrel for some device that changes the face of the clock colour or maybe even players faces. I am probably rumbling on.Do you mean put a clock face on the barrel end?
Cheers flootbon. Oak is porous. Any stain or dye you apply could contaminate the contents of the cask.
If the cask is for display only the staining and or vanishing is definitely an option.
The casks hold 1.4 Litres (2 bottles).
There is no coating inside the barrel. The inside of the cask is lightly charred in exactly the same way as full size barrels. There is no glue, sealant, resin. The are made from ex Macallan casks. Just oak and stainless steel.
Probably a silly question, are you able to ship to Perth Australia by any chance?I've recently started a business making 1.4L whisky barrels. They are made from ex whisky casks. They are aimed at the 2m whisky tourists who visit whisky distilleries each year. However, I was prompted by a thread on here which asked what products you would like to see in the post Fatso Rangers shop. I made some prototype Rangers barrels. I also made some clocks (also in solid oak)
I've been in contact with Scott Morrison (head of commercial partnerships) at the club. He feels that the Rangers support would be interested in Rangers branded wee whisky barrels.
It would help if you were to give me some feedback on the wee barrels (and clocks).
The wee barrels are perfectly functional in that they will further mature any spirit you put in the cask. It needn't be whisky. They will work with bourbon, vodka, rum, gin. Any spirit really.
I displayed the prototypes recently at the memorabilia day at the Louden (Thank you Robert).
As for price, I would have get some agreement with the club before I know what this would be at the shop.
So, whadya think?
Yes. I've sent some to the US. I'd be delighted to ship them down under.Probably a silly question, are you able to ship to Perth Australia by any chance?
Hi Bakubear,2 bottles, they looked smaller in first picture to me however on my way over to site now - great idea
ps cant find personalised with tap ?
Hi Bakubear,
Can I get back to you later today? My IT guru won't be until this afternoon
I'll message you.
I seasoned this cask with some ruby port. It now contains 2 bottles of Speyside malt. Should be nice.
In order JP&W,Barrels are very nice.
Couple of questions mate -
How long did you season the barrels with the Port?
After the Port seasoning, how long would you need to keep the Whisky in it to take on some of the Port flavours?
Once you've finished the Whisky, I'm guessing you'd need to season the barrel again before adding the Whisky?
In order JP&W,
This only requires a few days. I have left it for a few weeks but it's not really required from a whisky finish standpoint.
The trick here is to retain a sample of the whisky you put in the cask. You can then make a comparison of colour and taste after a few weeks. 4 minimum I'd say.
This is really a matter of personal choice. You can, but you don't have to. The whisky you add later will be influenced by whatever was last in the cask.
Hope this helps. If you have any questions or require more detail let me know.
Hi DCT,Love the barrels, not keen on the clocks at all.
The barrels I would be interested in buying for myself and for gifts, but as mentioned a couple of times, I think the branding is maybe a bit too much. These will almost certainly be a discussion piece for anyone entering a room, so let the new owner do the selling for you.
Personally I would be happy with the logo on the back of the barrel, and the logo on one end of the stand to allow whoever to have it showing at the front or not depending on which way it is facing. If available like that, I would have no hesitation in buying them.
I will take one of each thank you just like us Gers supporters very classyI've recently started a business making 1.4L whisky barrels. They are made from ex whisky casks.

Most of the casks I've made are made from ex Macallan sherry butts. However I have made some from ex Heaven Hill bourbon barrels. Sounds like a plan.Love the barrels, would go perfect in my bar with my Bourbon collection
Hi, good to hear they can be fully personalised. What I meant is your company logo which is on both ends of the barrel and on the stand which personally I feel is a bit much. Maybe on the website you could have a drop down menu for whether the customer would want "The Wee Barrell Co" logo on the front, back or both ends of the barrel.Hi DCT,
The barrels and the stand will be personalised to your specification. It's a bit more time consuming in preparing the stencilling on the computer and having you the customer okay the images and fonts etc.
All doable.
Thank you for your feedback this is all fantastic.
My dream is to get one into the Blue Room.
I will cry if it ever happens.
Having watched the last Loving Cup ceremony where they put lemonade into Glenmorangie they could do with some guidance on matters whisky.
