Don’t Get Hammered When Working with Whiskey Barrels
Whiskey barrels are integral for aging whiskey and other spirits and is growing in popularity among wine and beer drinkers alike. Constructed of Canadian or Kentucky whit
e oak and metal bands of steel and brass, they’re one of the most important ingredients as they impart color, flavor, and aroma over many years of maturation. While these barrels are an integral component in the aging process, just as important are the artisan engineers who construct and refurbish these barrels.
To meet the barrel and rack needs of winemakers, brewers and distillers, cooperage services offer barrel procurement, barrel repair and barrel rejuvenation. Trained craftsmen referred to as a cooper, skillfully make or repair casks with tools such as a barrel hoop drivers, bung pullers and 3 pound hammers that resembled a hand held sledge hammer.
Coopers must go through rigorous training sessions to perfect their skillset and needless to say, their hands are valuable tools of the trade.
