Whiskey barrels

[Natt]

My whiskey barrel source is no more. Does anybody know where I can buy 50+ gallon wooden barrels for putting up hard cider. Charred inside and previously used for whiskey is preferred. Thanks.

I want to make some...

My dad used to keep a barrel in the basement (root cellar) and it went down like tonic... Somewhere we have pictures of our neighbor who came over often but one day drank three glasses of the stuff, then crawled across the lawn and back up his steps to get home...

Yes, our dad also made 50 gal of hard cider every year with the barrel kept in a separate dirt floor "vegetable" cellar. The left over from the previous year went into the micro still to make cider brandy.

Of course when my brother and I were growing up we never snuck down to get a glass or two when the parents were not home.
