Cooperage Tours

See the life of a bourbon barrel

See how coopers make the barrels for world-famous bourbon brands including Old Forester, Woodford Reserve, Coopers’ Craft, Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, Four Roses, and Wild Turkey. Visit coopers such as Brown-Forman Cooperage or KY Cooperage. 

This unforgettable look at the bourbon barrel-making process takes you through the cooperage where you’ll see barrels raised from start to finish. You’ll learn how the wood is prepped, watch as staves are carefully placed to form the barrel and see the flames toast the inside to the perfect char level.
