White American oak barrels can be used over and over again. A spirit leaves its mark each time the liquid is aged inside the flavor infusing vessel. This can add even more depth and character as the barrel shares flavors with its inhabitants. A whiskey that is aged inside a barrel that just finished aging brandy will take on some of the previous liquor?s qualities, and so it goes. The barrel can keep going, but that spigot should be replaced time and again.

I ordered 2 new spigots as my old barrel from another company had it split down the center right away. The spigots arrived REALLY fast within a few days and went in easily and I have had no leaks. Great job and thank you.

I ordered a new spigot for one I had worn out. It came much quicker than I expected it to and it did the job or perfectly sealing my barrel. This saved me the money in having to buy a whole new barrel and I also did not want to replace it for sentimental reasons. While it may seem like an odd comment this barrel means a lot to me personally. My wife was very thoughtful and bought it for my birthday for me in 2019 and she passed away this year unexpectedly. I am not looking to bring the mood down but instead seeing this barrel in my kitchen daily makes me smile and brings back the positive memories of her. I will definitely come to you next time a need an additional barrel. Thanks for the great product and service!!

Ordered a spigot for a cider barrel from another company that came without one. Listed specifications worked well for the 20L barrel size. No leaks after seasoning and releases fluids well. Will come back for more products in the future – a good place for barrels and components!

Cracked a spigot while tapping it in (I was careful!), ordered two spares from RedHead. Shipping was fast and accurate and the part fit perfectly. Will use RedHead Again.

I actually ordered this to replace a bad spigot on a Barrel that was given to me for x-mas. No comparison in quality between the 2, yours is a quality product, the other, well lets just say it did not last for 1 week! Thanks for the fast shipping and look forward to trying some of your other fine looking products.
