Where to get Oak Casks

Thanks everyone. I wonder if the spirals are as good as an actual cask. I saw a video the guy was using it in whiskey. I'll definitely try that in my scotch but as far as aging hot sauce, I don't know, call me old school but I never like short cuts
 
The idea behind the infusion spiral is to maximize the surface area that the liquid comes in contact with. I guess you could call it a shortcut but it's still very effective.
 
Blind taste test side by side would be a better judgement than simply dismissing as shortcut. Nothing wrong with a good shortcut or new method with similar or better results. ;)
 
I was going to ask if it's cost effective using the spiral over a cask, but it seems everytime I go to Amazon the prices change. Went from about 4 bucks to about 15 bucks and now back down and around again. I think I'll give it a try
 
I like your open mindedness, that was fast LOL!
 
I have a Louisiana style ghost pepper sauce I'm aging right now in a small cask that was given to me as a gift. Going on three weeks. for my second test batch think I'll try it.

I'm definitely trying it in my scotch. Probably makes Johnny Red real nice.
