About the shop

Barrel makers since 1999

Every barrel is American white oak with a charred interior, the same build a distillery uses, scaled down to fit a counter. Because the barrel is small, more of the spirit touches the wood, and it picks up color and flavor far faster.

Engraving happens in our own shop, so a personalized barrel is made by the people who sell it.
