The hoop is, arguably, the most important part of the barrel. A strong hoop hugs the barrel staves together, sealing in the bourbon and letting it age in the warm comfort of the barrel. Without the hoop, the barrel is nothing but pieces of wood.
Pay homage to the most important part of the barrel with this modern, industrial sculpture. Taken from a retired Pappy barrel and attached to a solid steel base, this work of art is sure to stand the test of time: Just like good bourbon.
