Born Again • Nearly every whisky barrel gets a second chance at life. Many go on to house other spirits or beer, while some are reborn as humble outdoor planters. But for a select few that meet the hands of inspired designers and master craftsmen, there comes a higher calling. These casks, which formerly cradled bourbon, Irish whiskey, and single malt scotch, have been reincarnated as beautiful and functional works of art, every bit the masterpiece of the whisky they once held.
