custom barrels for custom products
Feathered and Tarred
The Esteruary holds the traditions of the industry close to its heart. We want to give the nod to the thousands of barrel makers that went before us; all were feathered and tarred as a sign of acceptance into the community. Whilst we don’t do this tradition anymore, we apply the principles of hard work, passion, care and craftsmanship to everything that we do.
We source high-quality custom barrels to enable you to make any custom product.
Barrels include:
Peated Barrels
These pre-soaked barrels can be used to infuse that beautiful smokey peated flavour to your whiskey, rum or anything that you wish to experiment with. Obtained from a variety of sources and materials, we can tailor these barrels to have the level of peatiness desired to give you that perfect drop. We're sure you'll love the results!
Bourbon Barrels
These pre-soaked barrels are made from 100% American white oak and can be used to mature bourbon with minimal wastage, or to mature and infuse a drink of your choice to get that rich bourbon flavour.
Gin Barrels
Want to include whiskey-like notes of wood and vanilla in your next gin? Perhaps something even more adventurous? We can supply what you need for the perfect glass of gin.
Whiskey Barrels
There are many benefits to using whiskey barrels. For one, they are already charred on the inside, so they are perfect for aging whiskey or other spirits. They also help to impart flavour and complexity to the final product. Additionally, whiskey barrels are sturdy and can last for many years when properly cared for. Finally, they are a great way to recycle a used product and give it a new life.
Wine & Sherry Barrels
Our wine barrels can provide unique flavours to any liquid you are maturing. Perhaps try our sherry barrels, for a more smooth, mature, and colourful experience.
Why use our barrels?
Affordability
By buying a restored barrel, you can save a considerable sum of money - between 40 and 70%.
Reduced Leakage
The chances of this barrel leaking are very low, since the wood has already been swollen. Just make sure it does not remain empty for long periods of time.
Contributions of the previous drink
If you're looking for a drink with a certain flavour or aroma, a restored barrel can be a great choice. The wood is impregnated with the drink, and each time the barrel is filled with a different beverage, you'll get a touch of that flavour.
The Green Choice
By giving our barrels a second life, you're contributing to a sustainable planet. Fewer trees need to be cut down, therefore using a restored barrel is a more environmentally-friendly option.
Extreme Custom Barrels
For barrels that have been infused with everything from tobacco to green tea - we can find a solution to your question ‘how do I make the most unique drop?'
