“Classic” Bourbon Barrels from Speyside Bourbon Cooperage® – Traditional Quality with Balanced Maturation
Since 1947, Speyside Bourbon Cooperage® has been synonymous with exceptional barrel craftsmanship and innovative cooperage. With the new “Classic” Bourbon barrels, the company offers a high-quality solution for distilleries that value proven quality and excellent aging potential.
A key feature of these barrels is the wood used: carefully selected American white oak that has been air-dried outdoors for 18 months before processing. This natural drying process reduces undesirable bitter compounds, refines the oak’s aromatic profile, and creates a stable foundation for barrel construction.
The oak is sourced from the most renowned growing regions in the United States – the Northern Highlands, the Appalachians, and the Ozark Mountains – and is hand-selected. A significant portion is locally sourced from the area surrounding the cooperage’s facility in Jackson, Ohio.
The combination of open-air drying and controlled kiln drying in the company’s own systems ensures consistent quality and optimal workability. State-of-the-art CNC technology enables precise stave assembly, resulting in barrels that are dimensionally accurate and virtually leak-free – a benchmark in modern barrel production.
The “Classic” series unites traditional craftsmanship with efficient manufacturing, making it the ideal choice for distilleries seeking reliability, functional quality, and nuanced flavor development.
