Thanks. Luckily I found a 5'x10' end-of-roll piece of Firestone Pondgard at Hawaiian Botanicals so I got 10% off. I think its going to work out well. In order to avoid getting folds in the liner, I've cut a circular piece for the bottom of the barrel and then I've cut out a frustum cone piece to line the sides of the barrel and then I'm sealing the seams with seam tape.
I'll be looking for either a bamboo spout or a barrel pumping fixture to mount on the top barrel. Water from the bottom barrel will be pumped through this fixture and into the top barrel. Then, the water will overflow through a wine barrel tap (connected to an overflow pipe) that I'll attach to the front of the top barrel and the water will flow down into the bottom barrel.

they make preformed liners for the oak 1/2 barrels.. they even make one with a lip to make a water fall.

Ok, so what I have really isn't whiskey barrels but round wooden planters shaped like half barrels. Anyhow, taping up the liner seams with seam tape didn't work. It still leaks. So I'm giving up using liner sheets and going with a sealant. Anyone know where I might be able to get a product called "Pond Shield" locally? Seems perfect to seal my wooden pots with.
