Quality & Utility

Time in a quality barrel is essential to producing fine spirits. Our barrels are built from air-dried, equalized export-grade American White Oak. Consistency in barrels is achieved through our manufacturing process. We assure a consistent quality and flavor profile through:

  • Use of premium White Oak

  • Temperature-controlled charring and toasting

  • Galvanized hoops

  • Sanding for a high-quality finish

  • Pressure testing for leaks

Charring & Toasting

While superior craftsmanship results in an aesthetically pleasing barrel, the most important part of the maturation process is the interaction with the interior of the barrel. We fire bend and hand toast or char every barrel, resulting in greater complexity in your spirits.

Our charring and toasting technology provides highly accurate temperature controls delivering consistent toast and char levels from barrel to barrel; order to order. We offer four standard char and four standard toast options.
