Spanish oak

Anyone know where i can get my hands on some spanish oak? Just found a thread on here it mentioned it and says it adds prune/raisens flavour. Sounds like it would make for a great rum oak :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Hmmm sounds interesting! Unfortunately I don't know, would it be the large Wine barrels? Butt, Puncheon, Madeira Drum, Hogshead...?
