Yes it can, but you need an import permit from the UK, and if I remember correctly an export permit to have it sent back. There is a gent on Holts website in VA that can arrange the paperwork and shipping, but delivery of barrels to, say, Stevens, is another matter. Contact person in VA will fill you in on details, also Google UK government web site for details on permits. There may also be a customs charge from US.

Good luck.
