Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Barrel – Fresh Dumped, Once Used

Jack Daniel’s whiskey barrel, fresh dumped and used once, sold for brewers, distillers, cider makers, and woodworkers who want a full-size Tennessee whiskey cask. The barrel previously held Jack Daniel’s whiskey for 4+ years before being emptied, and it comes to you as a 53-gallon American white oak cask with a heavy char and the original belly bung hole. This listing describes the barrel’s origin only; it is a used cooperage item, not a branded or endorsed product.

Because it is freshly dumped, the staves still carry whiskey in the wood. That makes it a strong choice for barrel-aging stouts and porters, finishing your own spirits, or giving cider, hot sauce, or maple syrup a whiskey-oak character.

What People Do With It

Craft breweries use these casks for barrel-aged beer programs, and distilleries use them to finish spirits. Homebrewers and cider makers age small batches. Outside the cellar, a whiskey barrel becomes a bar table, planter, rain barrel, or display piece for a tasting room or restaurant.

How It Compares

A Buffalo Trace rye whiskey barrel brings a spicier rye profile, while a 1792 bourbon barrel held a high-rye Kentucky bourbon for 7 to 10 years. See all casks in wood barrels.

FAQ

What does fresh dumped mean?

The barrel was emptied of whiskey recently and has been used only once, so the wood still holds whiskey character.

What size bung do I need?

The 2″ belly bung hole takes a #11 bung.

How should I store it before filling?

Keep it out of direct heat and fill it soon. Oak staves dry out over time, and a dry barrel may need to be swelled with water before it holds liquid tightly.
