Anyone know about a place that sells these? I know some of the distilleries used to sell them directly, but it is not a common practice.

Also curious about the general price. Would make a great gift, or something to put away for myself, or something to permanently leave tapped on the kitchen counter!

Whiskey comes in barrel?? I think they generally come in bottles dude. How on earth are you gonna finish a barrel of whiskey?? Even if it's a party, it would take like 500 people to finish it! :D

It's not common place because it tastes horrible (even JD). They need to filter the whisky with carbon and nano-membrane filters before it's drinkable becasue of the ash inside the barrel.

Nice thought though.
