Great idea. They should be here just in time for Easter.

I have a couple of the 2-liter ones. They are awesome. I took the caps off of mine last summer and re-charred them.

Waiting to hear pricing/volume/timeframe. If it's not going to be similar to bug asalts... order for two weeks then take two weeks (except the hurricane) we aren't going to do them.

Been itching to pull the trigger on one of these for a while. This may push me over the top.

Own one, its fun to use the first few times but becomes more of a pita after a while. Not to mention you lose quite a bit of spirits with them (usually between a third and 1/2 depending on length of aging). I just leave mine filled with water now as a decorative piece. You always want moisture in them so the wood doesn't dry out and crack or open gaps in the barrel. They do customized routering on them as well so if yall do this, I would look into that option.

I kept mine running all the time till we moved. Loved having it rolling. You do lose some. Was already planning on having a couple options for engraving on them.

I have nothing to add about their barrels, but on my drive into work yesterday from Katy on I-10 I did see a truck with a Deep South Barrels logo on the side and a huuuuge "Send Nudes" sticker covering his back window. Wanted to take a picture but the sticker was maroon and didn't show up well against the tint. Not sure if that's a clever pun for wooden barrels that I don't get, or if the guy just likes to party; no number was posted to send nudes to.

Carry on...

What if you set one of these up on a thumbler's tumbler?

Trying to figure out of that would speed up the "aging", cause problems, or even matter....

EyeGuy... wonder if you sell branded (your brand) products like Arctic cups, shirts (camo?) if it would be worth your time.

I'm sure a lot of people would like to buy something from you but may not always be in the market for a new gun. And, your brand will be top of mind when they are ready.

You may already sell a bunch of this stuff - I am ignorant on all of your product offerings. But, it does seem like a good group buy opportunity.

I've looked into some of this. We do have hats/tshirts and will be doing more. I was about two conversations with a chinese dude away from having our own molded Ramblers with the dillo on them but backed off because of the mold pricing.

And on the subject... I will be getting a few of the barrels for myself/partner/etc with our logo. Thought about doing them with the dillo but didn't think many would want that to be branded. I'm thinking doing three options... Blank, Texas Flag, and Gonzalez Flag

Small casks (barrels) that you can use to age spirits in. It's cool and looks really cool to have it set up. Also really awesome to have one running and be able to pour a drink straight from it for people.

Thought process on this is do put something out there that is cheap enough that if someone wants one, they'll get it for themselves or they can get it as a gift for someone.

Are you talking individual custom engraving, or creating a limited set of options? Reason I ask is that I would want one for my Dad with the ranch brand on it... He's not an Ag so don't need one with A&M on it...

For a custom logo you should deal directly with Deep South. They offer laser engraving on all of their barrels.

Edit: And I'm in if the deal goes through. Would love a 2L with Gonzales Flag.

I'm think custom logos would take too long and to be honest, if this is a 30-40 unit order, a pure nightmare on logistics. Can't do the ATM logo due to copyright so that leaves blank, texas flag, Gonzales flag as the main options. If someone wants one with the Dillo, that will be available as well, but I am not really expecting a bunch of people wanting that... tho the dillo is cool! This is still up in the air right this second, got the process started last week but still haven't heard back final pricing/timeframes so I'll bug them again monday and hopefully get info. If not, it won't be on my mind at all until I get the costas out the door then I'll pick it back up.

That's definitely the plan.

There's a way to find out...

I would think, if the barrel can roll, it would be like continually riddling the barrel.

So I suppose it depends if the reactions need time to gently occur, or if they need interaction with the wood.

I'm guessing something in between.

Maybe put one on a timer?

If someone has a tumbler, I'd be open to experimenting. All in the name of science, right?
