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](https://pitchfork.com/news/48309-buy-a-guitar-designed-by-bon-ivers-justin-vernon-made-out-of-a-whiskey-barrel/?ref=bourbonbanter.com).

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.
