Our half barrels start out at cooperages in Kentucky. Coopers build them from American white oak and char the inside to age bourbon. After years of aging bourbon, the distillery retires them, and we bring them to Vancouver Island. We cut each one in half, and they make great garden planters, fire pits, water features, or decor. Every barrel has real char, real stave wear, and years of bourbon in the wood.
