Bon Iver, Bushmills Release “The 1608” Guitar

A Bourbon & Banter member shared this story with me about a week ago and I just knew that I had to share it with everyone. It was originally posted with the title “Buy a Guitar Designed by Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, Made Out of a Whiskey Barrel” and was featured over on Pitchfork.com and written by Evan Minsker.

I realize that the barrel used to make the guitar was from Bushmills but I can only imagine that the barrel started out it’s life as a bourbon barrel down in Kentucky.
