The Barrel Mill

Hello All

We had a customer that had to back out of an order for 240 new 5 gallon whiskey barrels, due to not being able to get financing.

This is 4 pallets of 60/ea

MOQ 1 pallet

Call in for pricing

Richard or Nicky

Thanks

Greetings

Having forecasted a shortage in wood, and an increase in demand, we took the initiative to prepare

We are currently taking on a limited number of new customers, as our capacity has recently increased

Investments in new machinery, wood sourcing, and new leadership in the cooperage have all contributed to this

Currently we have 2 pallets (36/pallet) 10 gal char #3, and 3 pallets (60/pallet) 5 gallon char #3 in stock

The barrels are all 2 year air dried American white oak

email or call for pricing

these barrels will not be around very long

Also we have 24 refurbished 2 barrel (53-60 gal size) metal racks (black) ready ot ship out

Hey bud

Central MN cooperage here, let me know if you have any ?'s about aging

Best

R

The spirits industry is slowly, but surely catching up to the wine industry in product innovation/technology

There have been many blind taste tests where wine aged with oak alternatives including our product- the oak infusion spiral- won best of show, double gold etc. over wines aged for one-two years in new French oak cooperage

so 6 weeks with French infusion spiral ($55)beat out wine aged in new F/O barrels ($1000)for 1-2 years

In fact- the majority of wineries now use oak alternatives to some extent- you just wont get the winemakers to talk about their technique

Over the past 10 years the idea is becoming less taboo, and now you can read many articles in wine business monthly, and wines and vines on this topic

Small barrels are not used commercially in the wine business, or in 99% of the spirits industry- this is due to economies of scale and competition

I can go to the liquor store and buy a $25 1.75 liter bottle of bourbon from the big boys

We have sold many 15 gallon and 30 gallon charred barrels to MAJOR distilleries in KY- I wont say which ones because I would like to continue working with them

R

I regret the tirade in my earlier post-was fired up

If I offended anyone, I apologize

Bottom line-

I think for some folks 53's is the way to go, and for others, smaller cooperage make more sense

Really depends on your business plan, cash flow, time (ROI), desired flavor profiles, etc

Gonna stay outta this one from here out, obviously I have a bias

Liberty Bar,

I guess "as good or better" is impossible without tasting the same spirit being subjected to different barrels, but as far as simply "good," I think the Tuthiltown (Hudson) stuff is aged in small barrels, and I quite like their stuff. There's also a guy in Madison (Old Sugar Distillery) who had put out some nice rum from smaller barrels. These two are the extent of my experience with small barrels, which is why I'm looking for opinions. I'll put a check in the "big" column.

No Doubt

Sick of people w/o the proper knowledge commenting on this topic and others

Robert-

-your company does not make small barrels, only commodities like 53's and chips

-Doubt if you realized that a 30 gallon barrel is 30" tall, while a 53 is 35", hence the greater surface area to volume ratio using smaller cooperage, it is exponential

-Most craft/artisan distillers prefer top of the line ingredients- even organic, and the very best oak for aging

-Would recommend the Sales section of the forum to promote your chips

Liberty-

-"an intent to start a distillery" does not qualify you on this subject

-I'll let the experienced distillers comment on the question from the gentleman in WI

We are not your grandfathers cooperage

God Bless American Craft Distilled Whiskey, Bourbon, and Rum! brandy, tequila etc
