Bourbon barrels

Bourbon barrels are specially crafted oak barrels used to age bourbon whiskey. Made from American white oak, they are charred on the inside to add flavor and sweetness to the spirit. The barrels are used once for aging bourbon, which absorbs flavors from the wood, developing complexity and smoothness. After use, many barrels are repurposed for aging other spirits or for use in cooking and home decor. These barrels are essential to bourbon production, influencing its distinct taste and aroma through their unique aging process.
