2025 New Brunswick Barrel Tree Auction

In conjunction with Jack Daniel's Distillery & Operation Ride Home, we are pleased to host the THIRD EVER Jack Daniel's Barrel Tree in New Jersey, located at 5 Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick, NJ. While decorated festively for the holiday season, the barrels will go on auction on December 1st, 2025 (for January 2026 pick-up). Select barrels will include some exciting New Brunswick and surrounding City experiences for additional costs. ALL proceeds from the auction & barrel sales will benefit Operation Ride Home, which works to bring members of the military HOME for holidays and important events.

The Jack Daniel’s Barrel Tree is a tradition that started in 2011 at the Jack Daniel Distillery. 100% of the proceeds go to the Armed Services YMCA to support the Jack Daniel’s Operation Ride Home program, which helps bring our military home for the holidays.

Jack Daniel’s only uses new charred oak barrels to make its whiskey, and they are never filled a second time. The barrels that were used to build all the trees were earlier entrusted to mature the famed Tennessee Whiskey and will now be bringing another special holiday ‘spirit’ to many of their friends around the country.

All purchased barrels must be picked up locally when the barrel trees are dismantled.
