Oak barrels for sale in sizes from 2L to 10L
Every occasion calls for a different size. We offer a compact 2L barrel, a 5L that suits most home bars, and a generous 10L for a serious ageing project or a striking centrepiece.
If you’re after small wine barrels for sale, the 2L and 5L sizes are easy to manage and quick to fill.
The 10L holds enough for a proper batch of wine, whiskey or spirits, and it still carries the same rift cut oak and hand finish as the rest of the range.
You can dress up each size with black or galvanised hoops and a wooden or brass tap, to match the look of the room it’ll live in.
Prefer to watch it age? Try a glass head oak barrel
If you’d rather see your drink through a viewing window as it ages, our glass-head oak barrels replace a section of the barrel head with glass, so you can watch the colour develop without opening the bung. They come personalised the same way as our standard oak barrels, with your design proofed before anything gets engraved.

Genuine American oak barrels built to age wine, whiskey and spirits
Every barrel we sell is genuinely built to age spirits and wine, not a lined imitation dressed up to look the part. We use American White Oak, rift cut and charred on the inside, to develop the grain and draw out flavour as your drink matures.
Because the wood is real and untreated, every barrel arrives unsealed, and takes around four days to seal at home using the instructions we include.
The short sealing process is proof of what you’re getting: a genuine oak barrel, not a mass-produced shortcut. Once it’s sealed, you can use it to age wine, whiskey, bourbon, brandy, rum, or port, with ageing times ranging from a few months to a few years, depending on the flavour you’re chasing.
Plenty of our customers buy a whiskey barrel purely for themselves, filling it to mark the start of their own ageing project at home. Others come to us searching for whiskey barrels for sale as a gift for someone who already loves the hobby, since the sturdiness and weight of a genuine oak barrel make it feel like a proper investment rather than a novelty.
Every barrel is new and made to order rather than a repurposed cask, so you know exactly what’s been in it before your own wine or spirits go in.
Personalise your whiskey barrel and make it a gift to remember
A personalised whiskey barrel makes an unusual, memorable gift for someone who already has everything else. Add a name, a message or a custom logo for a wedding, milestone birthday, retirement, bucks or hens night, or a corporate order, and we’ll email a design proof within one business day so you can check every detail before we engrave.
It’s also a gift that keeps giving, since the barrel gets used for years after the occasion has passed, developing more rustic charm with every top-up. Pair it with a set from our crystal decanters or crystal glassware range, and you’ve got a complete bar gift without needing to buy anything else separately.

FAQs about our range of Personalised Oak Barrels & Kegs for sale
Are personalised whiskey glasses heavy?
Yes, and that’s what makes them feel special. The solid crystal base keeps your drink cold and prevents ice from melting too quickly, giving every glass a high-quality, decorative feel in the hand.

Absolutely. Upload your own artwork, initials or a custom message, and we’ll send a proof for approval before any engraving begins.
What can I serve in my personalised whiskey glasses?
Pour whatever you like, whiskey, scotch, bourbon, rum or a classic cocktail on ice. Our crystal is shaped to suit the favourite spirits of every style.
How long will my order take to arrive?
Once you approve your design, we’ll craft your personalised whiskey glass set within 3 business days. Delivery then takes between one and 14 business days, depending on your location.
Do you offer anything for last-minute gifts?

What do I need to know about putting wine in my oak barrel?
Our barrels are designed to hold wine and add delicious aromas. All you need to do is make sure your barrel is properly sealed from day one. We have both large and small wine barrels for sale online — browse through the range and start serving wine like a pro!
How long should spirits be aged?
There’s no “one-size-fits-all” formula for aging spirits — it all comes down to personal preference. However, we do recommend tasting your spirits at least once a month. Smaller barrels will age the spirit faster than larger barrels (approximately five to 10 times faster). To stop the aging process and eliminate the risk of unnecessary evaporation, simply empty your barrel into a decanter and start your next batch.
Will my alcohol evaporate?
Our Barrels are Rift Cut which will minimize evaporation, but depending on the environment that your barrel is stored in, some evaporation is to be expected. We recommend checking the level of your barrel once every 2-4 weeks and replace the Angel’s Share. Your barrel should never be under 50% empty as this can cause cracking.
What happens if my barrel starts leaking after I've sealed it?
It’s unlikely, since our barrels are rift cut to minimise this, but it can happen if the sealing steps weren’t followed closely. Get in touch, and our team will talk you through re-sealing or waxing.
Can I change my design after I've placed my order?
Yes. We’ll send a proof by email before anything is engraved, and you can request changes at that point.
How long will my personalised oak barrel take to arrive?
Once you approve your design, we will make your barrel within about two business days. Delivery then takes between one and 14 business days, depending on where you are.
Do you make oak barrels for corporate or bulk gifting?
Yes, we handle everything from a single personalised barrel through to bulk corporate orders, with the same design proof process either way.
