Our water butt barrels are made from genuine ex-distillery oak barrels that have been used for the maturing of spirit such as whisky and bourbon. They are similar to wine and beer barrels. Water butts may be supplied with one loose end that can be lifted off to allow access to the cask or they can be supplied with a cast-iron lift pump or a tap to allow water to be drawn from the barrel without removing the end. Our water butts present a practical and attractive means of collecting rainwater for the garden. All barrel dimensions and capacities are approximate.

 

Best quality stock - Oak barrels are highly durable and Barrel & Garden only use best quality barrel stock. We do not use surface coatings to cover deterioration on poor quality casks.
