Furniture / Decoration Grade Whiskey Barrel - No Head Stamp

These retired barrels once aged bourbon or whiskey, earning a rich history and plenty of character along the way. Their rustic appeal makes them a versatile option for creative decor or furniture projects.

Though not liquid grade, decor barrels are still in good condition with tight steel bands. You can expect natural imperfections like warped heads, rust, distress, or cracks—evidence of their hardworking past.

Whether you’re building a table or unique decor, these barrels add a timeless, handcrafted touch to any space. Every barrel is truly one of a kind, with variations in wood tone, markings, and charm that ensure no two are exactly alike.

Important notes:

• Furniture grade barrels are no longer fit to hold liquid and are not recommended for aging beverages.

• Bung location varies by barrel. Some barrels may have a head bung, a belly bung, or both.

• Imperfections such as warped heads, cracks, rust, or other signs of previous use are possible when purchasing decor grade barrels, but the barrels remain structurally sound with tight steel bands.

• Because these barrels are authentic, you can expect distillery markings, unique wood coloration, rust on the bands & residual material on the inside of the barrel. We do not clean these barrels.

• All barrels were used to age bourbon or whiskey first. Some barrels may have also been used to age beer afterward.

• The images provided are references only and may not represent the exact barrel you’ll receive as our inventory is constantly rotating.
