				"Crown Royal's Extra Rare Heritage Blend is Fit For A Queen" Crown Royal Creates Its Most Expensive Whisky Ever to Commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's visit to the 2007 Kentucky Derby. I had the incredibly distinct honor to create four pieces of barrel art for this very special commemoration. Two of the barrel heads were used in the actual barrel that will be presented to Her Majesty by Crown Royal along with a special decanter. The process of burning the images onto the wood is slow and tedious, taking about 10 hours to complete each of these barrel heads.




					On May 4, 2007, one of the barrel heads created to commemorate Her Majesty's visit was placed on permanent display at the Kentucky Derby Museum. My wife Vicki and I were present when the barrel head and a commemorative decanter were sealed forever, never again to be touched by human hands.

Jim Beam, and I pose with Jim Beam's® 10
millionth barrel. Fred filled the barrel of bourbon
at a ceremony to honor the landmark
achievement on February 14, 2005 at the
Clermont, Kentucky distillery where it will be seen
for the last time until 2009. Immediately following
its official sealing, the barrel made its way to a
rack house where it will be stored and aged for
four years.

		Few things still exist that are made the slow, old-fashioned way, by hand. Just like fine whisky and the barrels that age it, my barrel art is made the same old-fashioned way. It is a process that takes hours, even days sometimes, to complete. Some things just can’t be rushed......
