Made In KentuckyKentucky BarrelsMade In USA
Kentucky Bourbon is America's only native spirit. By law Bourbon must be made in NEW American white oak barrels. The many years spent aging in new barrels is one of the reasons Kentucky Bourbon is the best whiskey in the world today. After the golden liquid is removed, the barrels are exported where they are REUSED to make Scotch and Irish whiskey, rum, and tequila. It is our pleasure to share this valuable part of our Kentucky heritage with you.
BARREL HEADS
New & Vintage, Bourbon & Wine Barrel Heads
Our barrel heads are made from top grade, tight grain, quarter sawn, American oak. To make the head of the barrel, five or six head staves are fitted together with wooden dowels. The whiskey barrel heads are 21 inches in diameter and about one inch thick. All Kentucky Whiskey Barrels are charred on the inside, the char is very easily removed. We offer used planed heads, new heads, and new flawed heads with no charring, see descriptions below. (some new heads are charred).
