As beautiful on the inside, as they are out, our 53-gallon barrels are handcrafted at our family-owned cooperage and are known to have held some of the best spirits in the world.
We produce our premium American White Oak staves at our sawmill. Production then continues on-site in Avon, Minnesota. Once the staves are formed into barrels, we finish them with a custom char or toast, ranging from light toast to heavy toast and light char #1 to heavy char #5.
Our barrels go the distance. Thanks to our dedication to quality, our barrels are said to be some of the tightest barrels on the market. To learn more about our number one selling 53-gallon barrel, contact us today.
Pick Your
Flavor.
We can achieve subtly varying flavors and aromas, such as sweet caramel, smoke, spice, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and coconut.
Contact us directly to discuss your specific needs and customization.
- Barrels can be toasted in LIGHT, MEDIUM, MEDIUM PLUS, or HEAVY.
- Our standard, a #3 “Alligator” char provides the most vanillins. Caramel and toffee flavors are also present that work well for Bourbons and provide a beautiful dark amber color.
- Our second most popular, a #4 char adds smoke, coffee, chocolate flavors, and a darker color – working wonderfully for Rye Whiskeys.
- Upon request, we will work with you to determine which char level - #2 or #5 - will help you achieve your desired flavor profile.
Barrel selection plays a key role in flavor, timing, and return on investment. The sooner you can bring your product to market, the sooner you can reap the benefits.
At The Barrel Mill®, we are experts in smaller-sized barrels for faster aging of spirits. With an increased ratio of surface area to volume, our premium American White Oak Barrels can help you get your product to market faster, all while enhancing overall quality.
