There is a lot to this, and one outstanding thing about re-used barrels, some Beer makers will use the barrels even in the USA and of course this flavors the beer! Apparently very few do this. It is likely more profitable to sell overseas now. We used to see other items made from whiskey barrels, not so much now!

Due to this law, USA always has a large stock of new barrels, and in Europe and other parts of the world the production of whiskey barrels is not that high at all. So yes, it is certainly more profitable for America to sell them. Here good prices are paid for the barrels. In fact, I think the barrels sold at a considerable profit against the production price.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Very much appreciated.
