He Sells Kentucky Whiskey Barrels SPECIALTY/SERVICES Specialty/Services 30-2-23 FOR SALE WHISKEY BARRELS - Genuine new and vintage white oak Kentucky Bourbon whiskey barrels and barrel halves.
The above ad caught our attention recently so we gave the company a call.
Owner Dan Moffett told us that the white oak barrels are hand made in Kentucky and used to hold aging bourbon. To be considered "Kentucky" bourbon, it must be aged for at least 4 years since the barrels can only be used once to make bourbon, most are sold to European companies to make scotch and Irish whiskey. Moffett is trying to find better uses for the barrels here in North America. Kentucky Barrels sells whole and half barrels, barrelheads, staves, and hoops.
Moffett says customers use them for rain barrels, trash containers, tables or chairs and sink bases. "Craftsmen buy our barrel tops and barrel staves to paint on," he says.
The website is an effort to keep them in the U.S.
They also sell wine barrels, burlap bags, cedar crates and tobacco sticks.
Prices vary according to grades - new to vintage.
