We work mostly with breweries because, when used for malt beverages, FIT barrel aging is a process that does not require the filing of a formula. This is per TTB regulations, due to our TTB approved formulas and processing. I just figured I'd let some of you guys know of the different options we had, and the avenues that are available. No snake oil here, but I completely understand your skepticism. Though we've infused over 1,000 barrels and counting, It's something new and has only been around for a few years. If anyone would like more info, or has any specific questions, you're welcome to email me direct at Matt@RiverDrive.co

Our patent pending and TTB approved Fiber Infusion Technology allows you to customize the flavor profiles in a barrel, while simultaneously assuring quality and stability. Infusion occurs at the cellular level, allowing for a natural release of flavor as the fluid interacts with the wood, much like the natural aging that occurs between the oak and spirit. We can process any solid barrel, but the majority of barrels we do are 2nd use barrels, where the customers want less of a focus on oak, and more of a focus on the infused profile. The Sea Salt barrels were done for a hard cider produce, who spec'd sea salt barrels, and we happened to have a few left over. Other infusions that we commonly do are Whiskey, Gin, and Rum, various wines, and other exotics such as cinnamon whiskey, limoncello, ect. We mostly work with breweries, meaderies, and cider makers who are continuously looking to explore new ideas and push the limits of barrel aging. F.I.T. Oak Alternatives are also available.

We utilize our Fiber Infusion Technology to clean, then cure the barrels with filtered sea water. The inside of the barrels are then flash dried to remove the water, but the salt crystals remain in the wood. A neutral fluid is then added maintain sanitization and hydration.

I understand the shipping, importing, and post life a bourbon barrels. I just wasn't sure if anyone had any connections with companies abroad who had access to these retired barrels.

We're looking for Scotch barrels and Irish Whiskey barrels. Does anyone know of or work with any good sources?

No, the old retired 53 gal barrels are turned into flooring, and the scraps from that we turn into "knickknacks". We're looking for whole 5 gal barrels, to keep whole.

Hello All! My name is Matt, and I own a company called River Drive Lumber. We specialize in reclaimed lumber; logs raised from the bottom of lakes that have been there for hundreds of years, and we specialize in recycling Whiskey Barrels! When it comes to retired barrels, the opportunities are endless, and we are able to allow many distilleries and breweries to get even more out of each barrel.

You could by a tshirt at any distillery, but where can you get a custom made cribbage board, made from that distilleries barrels, custom engraved with their name!?
