The Barrels

An American White Oak is the type of wood used to make the barrel; it is naturally aged. The inside of the barrel is charred during the manufacturing process. A hard walnut bung is used as a plug for the barrel hole so the bourbon can be tasted throughout it aging process.

The barrels are racked in traditional warehouses. There they sleep for about six years, rotated in a labor-intensive practice, from top to bottom of the warehouse and from center to margins. Taste solely dictates when and where the barrel will move in the warehouse next.
