Crafted for the Connoisseur, Honoring 150 Years of Winemaking History.
Only 25 Available.
Celebrate Stanton & Killeen’s 150th anniversary with The S&K Classic Barrel Package—a tribute to our legacy and a masterpiece of craftsmanship. This limited-edition release is more than a product; it’s an experience, meticulously designed for lovers of fine wine and exceptional craftsmanship.
We are releasing 25 limited-edition barrels filled with a Classic-aged fortified of your choice. These limited-edition barrels are handcrafted from ex-bourbon and whiskey barrels purchased by 5th-generation winemaker Norman Killeen in the 1970s; these housed S&K fortified wines for more than 50 years.
Handcrafted by master cooper Andrew Young from the Barossa Valley, these barrels have undergone a 2-year seasoning process at the winery after being completed. Each barrel has a limited-edition collectors plaque attached.
