Our Charring Process

Smoky and satisfying, the Barrel 53 one-of-a-kind Missouri White Oak char is burned beautifully into each of our artisan barrels.

Barrel Testing

Our goal is to provide each distiller with flawless barrels to age their bourbon. After maturing our staves and charring for delicious tasting notes, each barrel is tested for satisfaction.

STAVES + CHAR + TEST

Each barrel is created from beautiful Missouri White Oak, crafted by our hands and tested to perfection.
