Tall Ship Barrels

"Tall Ship Barrels" premium American & European Oak Hand Crafted Barrels. Wooden Kegs have been used to store food and liquid for centuries. As trade and transportation developed around the world it became clear that wooden barrels were a vastly superior vessel than the clay pots that has been used previously and so, the market for wooden barrels for sale was born. Wooden barrels are not only less fragile, but they also stack much better and, as was discovered accidentally, they impart a warm, wooden flavor to whatever is stored inside.

Today, the ancient trade of cooperage – or the making of barrels – is more of an art form than it ever was.
