“Quiet, Whiskey Sleeping.” “Over the years, the bourbon was growing up in the Kentucky air. …aged in barrels, lying on their sides in rows on open ricks in the warehouses.”- But Always Fine Bourbon
Inspired by the “rickhouses” where bourbon is aged, The Rickhouse Bench is rustic, artistic, and unique, and deeply reflective of a process, a place, and a dedication to the decades of time necessary to age our bourbon. Handcrafted from a selection of genuine, retired Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon Barrel staves in our Pappy & Company Woodshop by artisan Jason Cohen, the purposeful shape and curve of the bench and legs, subtly, yet intentionally, beautifully represents the shape of the bourbon barrel that so recently cradled our family’s bourbon as it developed and aged its character, depth, and flavor.
A stunning piece of unique art that makes a delightfully functional seating option for your home or office, or adds a decorative touch of signature sophistication, pure craftsmanship, and historic bourbon legacy to that specific nook or wall in your entryway. With thoroughly modern flourishes that seamlessly incorporate tradition, legacy, and classic elements of history, each bench showcases artistic design and innovative craftsmanship.
Just as each sip of Pappy Van Winkle bourbon is unlike another, just as each individual barrel stave holds the secrets, and each groove and individual marking shares the story of the aging process, no two benches are the same.
