Since 1958
Our Legacy
We are makers of quality oak bourbon barrels. We began as a family-owned business by C.B. and Imogene Robinson in a small southeastern Kentucky stave mill in 1958.
We secure renewable white oak logs from all over the southeast. We turn them into staves to produce 53-gallon barrels known throughout the industry for their quality. We char the insides of each barrel to provide the distinctive color and taste for some of the best-known bourbons in the world.
We are proud to continue to serve our community, state and world with our quality bourbon barrels.
