Whiskey / Bourbon is aged in oak barrels. Whiskey barrels are a vital part of the whiskey making process; as a matter of fact, many distillers consider barrels to be a part of their recipe. When whiskey is first distilled it is clear and not near as pleasant to drink as whiskey that has been aged in a barrel. Inside the barrel is where a whiskey’s flavor, color and mouth feel are developed. Whiskey gets its vanilla, caramel, coconut and wood flavors from the barrel.

Whiskey in the United States is typically aged in a barrel for 4 to 10 years. After the barrels are dumped, they are still usable, but American Whiskey Distilleries only use a whiskey barrel one time. So, what do the distilleries do with all of their used barrels? The distilleries sell their barrels to the rum, gin, tequila, beer and scotch distilleries.

They also sell a few barrels to Barn Works Designs. At Barn Works Designs, we turn reclaimed barrels into useful items that reflect the rustic charm of Bourbon. We make everything from bottle openers to bar sets. Every piece that we make is a unique one of a kind item, because no two barrels are ever the same.
