Custom barrel head signs made from real Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels
Turn an authentic whiskey barrel head into a custom sign for a home bar, man cave, restaurant, distillery, wine cellar, log cabin, entrance, or rustic decor project. Each sign is cut from a real bourbon barrel head from Buffalo Trace Distillery barrels, then laser-burned with your design for a branded, authentic look.
You can start with one of our templates, send your own logo or finished artwork, or tell us the direction you have in mind and we can help create the design. We work directly with you and send a proof for approval before we engrave the barrel head.

Frequently asked questions
Will I see a proof before you engrave it?
Yes. We send every customer a proof for approval before running the laser. Production timing depends partly on how quickly the proof is approved.
How long does it take to ship?
Most custom barrel head signs ship in about 2-5 business days. The timing depends mainly on how quickly the design proof is approved.
Can I use my own logo or design?
Yes. You can send your own logo or artwork, use one of our templates, or ask us to help create a design if you are not sure what you want. We can tailor the sign around a family name, business name, home bar name, man cave name, date, or event.
What can be engraved on the barrel head?
Family names, business logos, dates, locations, monograms, sayings, bar names, man cave names, new home designs, Father's Day themes, and custom artwork all work well. "Aged to Perfection" designs are especially popular for 40th and 50th birthday gifts for bourbon and whiskey fans.
Is this a good gift for bourbon lovers?
Yes. Because it is made from a real Buffalo Trace bourbon barrel head and laser-burned with a custom design, it works especially well for hard-to-shop-for men who love bourbon, whiskey rooms, home bars, or barrel-aged character.
Is the easel included?
The easel is optional and is an upcharge when selected. If you choose no easel, we install a hanger on the back so the barrel head is ready to hang.
What is the optional tap or spout?
The tap/spout is a small decorative spout that can be included in the barrel head design if you select that option.
Are these real barrel heads?
Yes. These are authentic whiskey barrel heads cut from real bourbon barrels from Buffalo Trace Distillery.
