Barrels are evenly charred under carefully-regulated conditions and quenched at exactly the right moment to achieve the target char level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604411ca3bcae94a8d7af043/1628785662818-Y699ASFZ2YSV1VPX07IP/Clinton+Med.jpg OUR PROCESS - FINISHING The skill and experience of our coopers and inspectors is integral to our industry-leading leak rates. At finishing, each barrel is filled with a gallon of reverse osmosis water and pressurized air before it’s subjected to our rigorous inspection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604411ca3bcae94a8d7af043/1622812685121-4SX6KASHUVZRTWN0NY5W/world+class+maintenance.jpg OUR PROCESS - RELIABILITY A world-class maintenance program engaging Six Sigma methodologies keeps our equipment performing at the highest level, allowing our team to consistently and safely build a superior barrel, time after time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604411ca3bcae94a8d7af043/1628946438212-3JZHXLTZGVZ1FW9QUW8W/WINDLESS-Edit.jpg OUR PROCESS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://wvgbc.com/quote daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604411ca3bcae94a8d7af043/1623084788367-2BO6M3HK7YCY6PRN5ACZ/INSPECTING+BARREL.jpg Request a Quote https://wvgbc.com/gallery daily 0.75 2021-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604411ca3bcae94a8d7af043/2396f94e-ba9e-4867-ae0c-ad439e3f2391/INSPECTING+BARREL.jpg GALLERY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604411ca3bcae94a8d7af043/df3dcc16-d863-4a3d-8672-394f0125b053/DEBBIE+PLANED+STAVESsm.jpg GALLERY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604411ca3bcae94a8d7af043/7b4a4664-843a-42b4-a759-2bf126494fac/WV+RIVETS+med.jpg GALLERY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604411ca3bcae94a8d7af043/a8cd0719-db44-4142-864f-e889554b78c8/Clinton+Med.jpg GALLERY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604411ca3bcae94a8d7af043/37fa45f9-641c-4677-8280-a2462b23e5fc/Audrina+Mill+sm.jpg GALLERY https://wvgbc.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2022-01-27 https://wvgbc.com/our-barrels daily 0.75 2021-07-26 https://wvgbc.com/toast-char daily 0.75 2021-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604411ca3bcae94a8d7af043/1623984889140-72GDZY6AQI9231JPJ9OE/Toast_HeroIMG.jpg TOAST & CHAR - Toast Controlled infrared heat caramelizes wood sugars, breaks down harsh tannins, and primes flavor extractives for aging. While charring a barrel inevitably toasts a small amount of wood behind the char, a deeper penetration of heat through a deliberate, controlled toast matures a smoother whiskey with a more refined flavor profile. That’s why we’ve built infrared toasting into our process, and offer it on every barrel at no additional charge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604411ca3bcae94a8d7af043/1623984937531-51RJDXUCRNXGEMT2EBAA/Char_HeroIMG.jpg TOAST & CHAR - Char Charring a barrel results in a layer of carbon that acts as a filter, rounding out rough edges as the spirit travels deep into the barrel and back out again throughout maturation. It also results in a small amount of residual toast, the flavorful red layer. When barrels are toasted before charring, the former reaction catalyzes the latter, resulting in greater depth and complexity of flavor.
