I thought this little video about how a Jack Daniels whiskey barrel is made was interesting. I was surprised at the amount of hand work involved while producing barrels on an industrial scale.
Here are some photos that feature a product associated with barrels. They are from a trip I took on the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky . . .

The fermentation room at Four Roses.
The still room at Four Roses.
A tasting at Makers Mark.
It was an interesting tour. I would go back to Buffalo Trace and some of the distillers that I missed the first time.
