Mentioned these guys before but I've used several of these with cracking results for whisky usually with some sherry or port in first

They're near Gateshead and he is often open to cash offers if you call in person

It's a fascinating place with loads of old barrels in various states of restoration and conversion with a blacksmith on site and heady aromas from past spirits

Nice one..
When you say sherry first do you mean buy a cheap bottle and let it soak in over a few weeks?
Are these barrels made on their site or are they bought in?
