Brand New Never Used 53 Gallon American White Oak Whiskey Barrel

PLEASE NOTE: Only char #3 barrels are available at this time. These barrels also have head bungs.

Midwest Barrel Co. has partnered with a USA-based cooperage to fulfill custom orders for Brand New, Never-Used, 53-Gallon Whiskey Barrels.

The barrels are made from American white oak staves that have been sourced from quality-minded stave mills. The wood sourced for the barrels has levels of tyloses to help them remain leak-free.

While outside, the wood is allowed to age long enough to rid it of bitterness while still maintaining its natural sugars. The wood is seasoned for 3 months and then kiln-dried to bring them to the proper moisture content level.

Once the staves are formed into barrels, the cooperage toasts or chars the barrels to the customers’ exact specifications ranging from light char #1 to heavy char #4.
