I bought the 20L barrel.
They are made in Mexico from American oak. The price was great and shipped fast to Canada. Unfortunately I haven't filled mine yet as I have been working out of town for two months and wines are just finishing up MLF.

The one feature I didn't like was the tiny hole which the bung fits in, so I drilled in bigger and replaced the stopper with a silicone one.

Thanks for your input.

No problem. I am going to be filling it this week.
Will keep you updated.
