Speyside Barrel (Made to Order) - New, Never Used

This is the same new, charred white oak barrel from our standard Speyside listing: 100% US oak from more than 30 log buyers across 15 states, staves air-dried for a full 12 months (most US barrels get 4 to 6), and around 26 wide staves per barrel, all built in Jackson, Ohio. The difference is how far you can take it. Custom builds are quoted per order, so pick what you want from the list below and we’ll work through the details with you.

• Stave seasoning: 12-month air dry standard, extendable in six-month increments
• Custom char: Speyside’s charring is computer-controlled and timed to the second, so you can pick any standard level or program something truly your own (a 3.14 char? Done.)
• Toast: Light, medium, medium-plus, or heavy
• Bung placement: Head or belly, included
• Laser head etching: Your logo or design laser-etched into the heads (customer provides artwork)
• Galvanized hoops: Swap the standard carbon steel for galvanized
• Sanding: Smooth, sanded exterior finish
• Verticut staves: CNC-routed grooves cut into the inside of each stave for 27% more surface area, allowing for rapid maturation and deeper oak penetration 
• Ozone treatment: Treated before shipping
• Barrel wrap: Each barrel can be sealed in plastic wrap to hold in moisture

Every barrel is backed by our leak-free guarantee when filled within 30 days of purchase.

Bottom line? If you can picture it, ask us, and we’ll tell you straight what it takes.
