RyLintz Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I have been googling and can't seem to find what I am looking for. After drilling into the side of a whiskey barrel to get a sample, I have seen distilleries hammer in a small wooden stake/plug to fill in the driil hole. What are those stakes called? Recommendations on where to purchase? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamOVD Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Spiles. I usually just use a stainless screw if it's something I plan on sampling often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskeytango Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Go buy a Woden dowel and a pencil sharpener. Not that complicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
