VINTAGE ANTIQUE 22 Tall inside x 14in WOOD BEER WHISKEY KEG BARREL

About this barrel

This vintage oak whiskey barrel is listed as a 22 tall inside by 14in wood beer and whiskey keg, offered used at $249.99 by an independent eBay seller.

Can a vintage oak whiskey barrel still be used for aging?

Possibly, but the listing only says used, so do not assume it is ready to fill. Ask the seller whether it holds liquid, how the inside looks and whether the hoops are tight. A dry old barrel may need a long water soak to swell the staves, and some are better kept for display.

• Dimensions: 22 tall inside, 14in as listed.
• Wood: oak.
• Fits: a bar corner, den shelf or rustic accent spot.
• Check: photos for cracks, rust on the hoops and any odors.
