There is a little plastic washer on the inside of the glass for the tap, but I am not worried. Not going to put anything stronger than 40% in it anyway.

My idea is to use it as a storage tank for finished vodka.

Hmmm, interesting! What's the quality like?

I am no glass expert but its made in Spain and looks sturdy enough.

Glass is about 5mm thick, with a slight greenish hue. Nice sturdy bottom bit, and the lid is chunky.

The tap seems sturdy enough. The flow rate isn't amazing but it decants ok for me.

Costco being Costco they always have a display one that you can mess around with.

Its much better than having three demijohns I know that.

Cool, a Rumtoft.

my nextdoor neighbour has one. fills it with rum and adds overripe friut to it over a period of months whilst always covering the friut with rum until full.

His is a pottery one though.

Nice, i might ask for one for xmas

You lot get spiders that can kill you instead, not really a fair trade eh!

Could be ideal for sloe gin perhaps ?

A few other similar jars - a bit more expensive - but they sell the taps / spigots separatly if you fancy making your own.

Don't pick the sloe's until after the first hard frost

If anyone in Yorkshire knows a good place for sloes, let me know because I can never find any of the bloody things!
