After a little research, I was able to get my hands on some untrimmed, unfinished American White Oak Jack Daniel's barrel staves, and from there the original Whiskey Barrel Wedding Ring was born. The bourbon and scotch ring quickly became a favorite among my shop customers and has since been featured on many.

Once I had a steady supply of Jack Daniel's cask sticks, my customers and I became obsessed with buying other brands of whiskey sticks. I currently have over a dozen different distillery options to choose from when customizing my whiskey barrel wedding ring:

When ordering whiskey barrel rings the default barrel stick is Jack Daniel's. If a specific distillery is not selected in the "Select Wood" section at checkout, it will be used. Note that all of these cask staves, regardless of source, will look very similar in color and pattern, as they are all charred American white oak (I think it's the law called bourbon.

 Scotch that has been aged in used barrels vs. new bourbon barrels) and varies slightly in color from light blonde to deep caramel (the darker the stuff, the closer the piece is to the charred part of the barrel). would be close). In particular, the rings of Scotch casks, which in the case of The Macallan or The Balvenie can be French Oak or Sherry casks, are essentially the same in appearance. If you would like a darker or lighter barrel piece, simply put your request in the "Notes" section at checkout. I would go out of my way to include this in your barrel shaped wedding ring whiskey.

Why You Should Buy Whiskey Barrel Wedding Rings:

1. A unique and timeless tradition that celebrates the art of whiskey making
2. Made from barrel-aged oak and sealed with tungsten steel strips, making the rings strong and long-lasting.
3. High quality materials make the rings beautiful, unique and personalized.
4. A great way to show love and trust to others.

Before you buy, consider:

1. Due to the rigidity of the rings, their shape cannot be changed.
2. Finding high quality oak wood and tungsten steel can be difficult and expensive.
3. The intricate craftsmanship required to make rings can be time-consuming and expensive.
4. Rings can be difficult to match with other jewelry.
5. Because whiskey barrel wedding rings are unique, they can be difficult to find and may not be available at every location.

Each ring of a whiskey barrel will have something called a ray flake that runs perpendicular to the grain of the wood. This is completely normal and not a defect in the wood, although some people may find that the wood is scratched in some way. This is an indispensable part of using oak! It will appear on your wedding ring in the shape of a whiskey barrel.

There is one exception in terms of color and appearance that resembles whiskey barrel rings for him Angel's Envy. This brand is unique in that after the whiskey is aged in American white oak casks, it is finished in port casks. It stains the wood a brownish/purple color that will give a unique look to a standard whiskey wedding band. Since I'm dedicated to keeping wine stains in the loop, the wood has to be cut a certain way to limit the size of the rings on this stick to 11.5.
