About Us
Craftsmanship Meets Flavor Science – One Barrel at a Time 🛢️🔥
At the heart of our work is a simple mission: to give you the same oak-to-volume ratio found in full-size bourbon or whiskey barrels—without the risk of over-oaking. Our 1.8-gallon stainless steel and American White Oak barrels are engineered to give you professional-level aging results right at home.
Whether you're aging beer, wine, spirits, maple syrup, coffee, vinegar, kombucha, hot sauce, or even BBQ sauce, our barrels are designed to bring out complex, rich flavors with precision.
Why Our Barrels Are Different
Each barrel starts with a food-grade stainless steel base—durable, leak-proof, and fitted with a sanitary tri-clamp seal. No silicone bungs, no leaky valves—just a clean, airtight seal you can trust.
What sets us apart is our barrel head—crafted from new American White Oak that's been seasoned for 36 months through rain, snow, heat, and cold. This natural aging process reduces harsh tannins and enhances the oak's ability to complement your product with softer, richer flavor profiles.
Custom Toasting & Charring for Flavor Precision
Your flavor goals are unique, and so is your barrel. That’s why we offer custom toast and char levels:
-
🔥 Light Toast – Notes of clove, spice, coconut, creamy fudge
-
🔥 Medium Toast – Vanilla, caramel, coffee, toffee
-
🔥 Heavy Toast – Butterscotch, smokey caramel, bold spice
And if you want deeper flavor extraction, choose a charred barrel:
-
🔥 Char Level 1–4 – From light spice to rich espresso, tiramisu, vanilla and leather notes
Each oak head is joined, doweled, sealed with organic beeswax, and pressed into the barrel using 12 tons of force. Stainless steel nails are then added for extra strength—because we know flavor takes time, and so does perfection.
