Craftsmanship: What Sets Mystic Barrel Apart
At Mystic Barrel, we take refurbishment to a whole new level of craftsmanship.
It’s the care and love of our week-long process that sets Mystic Barrel apart from other barrel producers.
What goes into a truly refurbished barrel?
No, it’s not that simple or a DIY project for the faint hearted…and not all are created equal.
A Mystic Barrel is an endeavor in artistry that involves expertise, love and care from the moment your barrel is selected to the first time you set that glass on your solid oak table top. Here’s why…
Where the Magic Happens:
The Mystical Process Behind Creating Your Custom Whiskey Barrel Pub Table
Once you place your order, it starts from the moment we hand select the ideal barrel to customize for your pub table to the white glove delivery and assembly in your own home.
1
Step 1: Hunting for the Perfect Barrel
Every order starts with the hunt for the perfect whiskey barrel for our pub tables from among these barrels.
At Mystic Barrel, not any old barrel will do. Our high quality standards requires that our barrels:
Are authentic, genuine used whiskey barrels
Retain that highly sought-after rustic appeal
Have at least one nice level barrel head to serve as the 'top'
Have NO major cracks or other damages
Are freshly-dumped to ensure the barrel is structurally sound
Have tightly secured metal bands or "Hoops"
Meet US legal standards that define a whiskey barrel: freshly charred virgin cask or barrel
Come from well-known, established Kentucky Distilleries like Heaven Hill, and Wild Turkey
2
Step 2: Prep for Refurbishment
Quality check of acquired barrels:
Confirm a flat barrel head, ideal for a level table
Ensure no cracks or other damage
Overall just a good looking, furniture grade barrel
Cleaning the metal hoops/bands and removal of any imperfections
Center 4 hoops are removed from the barrel
The barrel is sanded to smooth surfaces and remove imperfections
Complexion enhancement by blending darker tones found in whiskey barrels to amplify the richness and depth of the wood
Following sanding, hoops are reinstalled and secured to ensure the stability of your pub table
3
Step 3: Cabinetry Installation
Next, we install the lazy susan cabinet into your pub table
Door location is identified and measured out based on every barrels unique shape
Door is secured together by the hoops and cut
Barrel is scraped and cleaned inside, reinvigorating the wonderful aromas embedded in the wood by charring and whiskey making process
Barrel interior is primed and painted to give it a clean, finished appearance
The shelving and barrel door are assembled and installed

Step 4: Finishing and Table Top Production
Then off to staining and coating in polyurethane protection to ensure a lifetime of memories
Meet Mike, Owner and Lead Craftsman From Mystic Barrels
After meeting my wife, my father-in-law introduced me to whisky, and I developed a passion for the beverage. I was fascinated, as a mechanical engineer, by distillation and how the unique aging process lent color and richness to the wood.
One day, while my father-in-law was working on converting my wife’s childhood game room into a private basement pub, the idea was born.
It hit us—wouldn’t it be cool to recycle and reuse a whisky barrel in each our basements!
Better yet, what if they had a purpose, a pub table!
The reactions from friends and family were unbelievable. An instant conversation piece, people were taking photos of it, fascinated by the interior cabinetry, and asking for their own.
I realized I had something, and with that one single barrel, Mystic Barrels was born!
So, let us share your passion of whisky or wine with one of our distinctively elegant barrel tables. They are ideal for that special space in your home, adding that wow factor you have been looking for.
Unlike other barrel table producers…we marry our high quality product with a white glove delivery and installation process going above and beyond for a top-notch experience.
So go ahead take the plunge! Whether it’s a barrel table or one of our other accessories, all items are made using 100% authentic, hand selected furniture grade whisky and wine barrels. I am certain they will spark as much delight as that one barrel did for us in my father-in-law’s basement pub.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just do this myself?
Can I use your barrels for aging?
Our focus is on the upcycling and reuse of barrels for furniture and decor. We plan to add fresh refillable barrels appropriate for aging to our lineup in the future, but as of yet, we don’t currently have those barrels available.
When will my order get here?
We use a white glove delivery service that will bring your entire order to your home, business or desired venue, and then assemble it onsite. Mystic Barrel will contact you directly to make arrangements for a time and date that best meets your needs. This additional concierge installation service is free of charge.
Do you engrave/personalize the barrels?
Not yet! While we do not currently have an engraver on staff, we can create a custom stencil to stencil a personalization onto the barrel. What were you interested in? Here are some examples of ones we have done in the past.
Do tables come with the top attached?
The tabletop is shipped separately for ease of shipping and ease of navigating the table to its final location in your home or business by our white glove service! For the glass tops, they rest on 4 rubber bumpers that are provided. The wood tops are secured to the barrel base with the provided fasteners. Instructions are provided as well.
