BarrelSales.com offers the largest selection of oak barrels for whiskey, wine, and spirits aging. Choose from new charred American oak, used bourbon barrels, used wine barrels, and French oak barrels. Sizes range from 1-gallon mini barrels for home bartenders to 60-gallon distillery-standard barrels. All barrels are crafted from premium white oak with proper toast and char levels.
Our new American white oak barrels are charred to level 3 or 4, perfect for whiskey, bourbon, and spirit aging. The charring process caramelizes wood sugars, releasing vanilla, coconut, and spice notes. New oak barrels impart strong flavor quickly – ideal for shorter aging cycles (3–12 months). Available in 5, 25, 53, and 60 gallons.
Used bourbon barrels (10 and 53 gallons) come from Kentucky and Tennessee distilleries. These barrels have already extracted heavy oak tannins, leaving behind sweet vanilla and caramel character from the original bourbon. Used bourbon barrels are perfect for home distillers, craft breweries (barrel-aged stouts), and hot sauce makers. Lower price than new oak – starting at $120.
Our used wine barrels (15 gallons) come from California and Washington wineries. They add fruit-forward notes, tannin structure, and subtle oak character. Popular for home winemaking, sour beer aging (brettanomyces), and spirit finishing (rum, brandy).
French oak barrels (59 gallons / Bordeaux size) are the gold standard for premium wine aging. French oak has tighter grain and lower tannin extractables, producing finer, more elegant wine with subtle spice and vanilla. BarrelSales.com carries French oak barrels from $680.
New oak barrels should be filled with water for 24 hours before first use to swell the wood and seal leaks. Used barrels should be rinsed and sanitized. Never let oak barrels dry out – store with water and potassium metabisulfite if not in use. Barrel aging extracts flavor faster in smaller barrels (1–5 gallons need 1–3 months; 53 gallons need 6–24 months).
All oak barrel orders require a $200 minimum subtotal. Small oak barrels (1–15 gallons) ship via UPS/FedEx in 3–7 days within the USA. Large barrels (53+ gallons) ship via LTL freight. We ship to Canada, UK, Australia, and worldwide. Call +1 346 636 0501 for international freight quotes.
