I have purchased 6 barrels from them 2 are 10 ltr and 4 are 20 ltr.
They all looked good initially and sealed in a day or two.
About 6 months into aging two things happened. The aging noted by color and flavor stopped and the barrels started to leak. The leaks are small by cost me 30% of the contents. I contacted barrelsonline and they said I should check the barrels often and use barrel wax liberally.
Shame on me for buying so many and not doing daily checks.
I have switched to redhead and gotten outstanding results. No leaks and MUCH faster aging.
As for their response of me not being a customer. They should review my order history!
Lying is not an acceptable response to bad customer service.

We have searched for this customer and have not found anything ordered by him and we never suggest using wax that is simple not true. I believe this is a nasty move by the competition redhead barrels. Please do not use those nasty business practices to get more customers.
