Description
Celtic Timber’s oak whiskey/rum barrel planters are available in a variety of sizes and make a perfect addition to home gardening.
Our oak half whiskey barrel planters are made from genuine Scotch whiskey barrels and then cut in half to create the perfect planter for your plants, herbs or trees.
Our solid oak whiskey half-barrels are extremely high quality and come with steel bands.
Please note – If you require a watertight oak planter please state this when ordering (for the small planters only). The oak thickness on this barrel measures 30mm, giving a great deal of protection from the elements.
20 gallon planter notes – They are both effectively the same barrel in terms of appearance and size. The rum barrel started off life as a whiskey barrel and subsequently was used again to store rum so the price reflects the fact that they’ve had an “extra use”. Also the rum planter may contain a hole at the bottom as standard as they have come in to us.

Very pleased with quality and overall service. The barrel is sturdy and bigger than I thought it would be – but a great planter for our new bamboo. Looks lovely in the garden

Nicola (verified owner) –
I ordered two half whiskey barrels. One of them is great, sturdy. The other is wobbly, the ‘planks ‘ feel loose and the metal band round the outside is wobbly and I can slide it about. I’m not sure what is holding it together. Perhaps when it has something in it, it might feel more stable. I hope.
The smell from the barrels goes, don’t worry about the smell!
Prompt delivery.
Jon Howcroft –
Hi Nicola.
The bands shouldn’t be wobbly – we pin them to the wood to prevent this. I can only assume that the pin has somehow loosened in transport. Are you able to call our office on 01437 710043 and speak to our customer service team to arrange a replacement?
Thanks
Celtic Timber

Absolutely amazing service, ordered one day and delivered two days later. It looks very stylish and imposing, and there can be no mistake that it was a whisky barrel by the smell emanating from it lol.
