    Default Bar Spirits dispenser

    Hi guys
    was just wondering ,I'm building a timber wine barrel type of thing /spirits dispenser, for my bar top!
    but was having second thoughts on lining the inside with polyester resin ?? ..
    Will the alcohol / spirits dissolve the dried resin and make the scotch /spirit taste like crap ??
    What else can i use as the internal shape is not an even common shape ??

    Any help and feedback will be greatly appreciated..

    My first thought is to go and see a cooper and get a proper one made. I would not uses polyester resin, or any other coating on the inside.

    You can get a three litre wooden keg for $130, made of American Oak and charred on the inside for proper spirit aging. I don't think you could properly DIY cooper one for that sort of amount unless you happen to have coopering skills and timber on-hand.

    You could just chuck in a bladder from a wine/port cask as a cheap food safe liner though.
