HTF Rare Bombay Sapphire Gin Oak Barrel Dispenser Promo Stir Creatively Barware

About this barrel

A Bombay Sapphire gin oak barrel dispenser is branded barware that rarely turns up, and this one comes from the brand's Stir Creatively promotion. An independent eBay seller lists it as used, so it suits collectors and display more than it suits someone looking for a fresh aging cask.

Can you still serve from a vintage gin barrel dispenser?

Possibly. The listing doesn't give a capacity, so check the photos and description for the size, the condition of the wood and whether a tap is included before you plan to pour from it.

• Look for cracks, dried-out staves or loose hoops in the seller's photos.
• If you plan to fill it, swell the wood with water first and watch for leaks.
• Ask the seller about the spigot and any wear on the branding.
• It works as a home bar centerpiece or as part of a gin memorabilia collection.
