Design Your Own Whiskey Barrel

Your name. Your words. Your picture. Burned into a real American white oak aging barrel, exactly the way you see it on screen.

Every other personalized barrel starts from somebody else's design. This one starts from you. Type the words you want on the head, pick a look, describe the picture you have in mind, and our designer draws it for you in seconds. Change it as many times as you like. When it reads right, press Use this design and that exact artwork goes to our laser.

How it works

  1. Pick your barrel size – 1 to 20 liters. The size sets how much room your design has.
  2. Type your words – a name, what's in it, a distillery line, a town, a year. We check the spelling with you before anything is drawn.
  3. Pick a look and describe your picture – a bear by a mountain stream, your family's ranch brand, crossed axes for the firehouse, a tall ship, your dog. Or start from one of our looks and make it yours.
  4. Choose an art style – Painted, Fine Engraving, Letterpress or Classic. Same words, four very different barrels.
  5. See your proof – the finished design on your barrel, read back letter for letter. What you see is what we engrave.

Oak is a natural product. Every barrel head has its own grain and density, so the depth and shade of the burn vary from barrel to barrel. Your words and artwork are engraved exactly as shown; the colour of the burn is the wood's own.

The barrel

A handcrafted American white oak aging barrel, charred inside, with black steel hoops, a wooden stand, spigot and bung, and your custom engraved head. Ages spirits in weeks instead of years. Made in the USA by the same crew that has been making barrels since 1999.

Made for

Weddings and anniversaries, retirements, Father's Day, groomsmen, the firehouse, the garage, the ranch, the home bar, or a distillery of your own that only exists on this barrel. If you can describe it, we can draw it.

Your design is saved to your account, so you can come back to it, reorder it, or put it on a bigger barrel later.
