Bringing New Life to Something Used
The Whiskey Well is a couple friends in a garage who combine passions of woodworking and enjoying whiskey into a tangible product of beauty. The original idea was born from a spark of imagination and quickly turned into “what else can we do?” We are always looking to create, share, and collaborate in bringing a piece of American tradition and pride into your den, office, whiskey room, or wherever!

Non-Barrel Products
We do more than just barrels! Let us know about your wood projects as well.
Although a standard diameter, each barrel head contains planks that are asymmetrical, and often have waves due to the swelling of the wood. For each head, we disassemble and re-assemble to straighten the bonds and reduce the wave and provide the highest amount of stability and durability.
The stave is an immediate reminder of the liquor making process, and it’s key feature is charred, whiskey soaked underside. Each stave has a standard length and thickness but the width can vary between approximately 1-6 inches. This size variation allows for a variety of products to be created.
A barrel usually has a standard height, but the width of the belly can vary based on what product was contained in the barrel and the intended manufacturing size. For some projects, it only makes sense to use the entire barrel, especially to help fill larger spaces.
