The inner liner of this Black Ceramic ring is made from a genuine used Whiskey oak barrel. The ring pictured happens to be made from a Balvenie cask, and it is French Oak. Scotch barrels are typically reused, and can be french oak, spanish oak, or american oak depending on origin. Though the wood reeks of whiskey, the final products (sadly, from an authenticity perspective) have no odor, having been sealed with finish.
I have a few other barrel wood options besides Jack Daniels®, including Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, Woodford Reserve, Four Roses, Stranahan's, and Buffalo Trace. For this ring, I would be willing to use the rare stock I have from The Macallan. Please see this blog post on whiskey barrel choices.
Among all sandblasted material options, Black Ceramic is the most durable and superior.
Second only to Tungsten Carbide, Black Ceramic is the most scratch resistant material used to make rings. It is jet black all the way through-- its color is not a coating. It is permanent and will not corrode. This is not the "ceramic" of a commemorative plate. It is a seriously advanced material principally used in the aerospace industry. Though lighter than tungsten, it still has excellent heft. It gives every impression of being a metal, including a satisfying clink when tapped. The ring pictured is satin, but polished is also available.
Sizing
I highly recommend going to a jewelry counter to determine your size, even if you already know your size. "Do it yourself" ring sizing methods (string, etc.) should absolutely not be trusted. Be sure to be measured using the width you plan to order.
NOTE ON WIDTH:
This one is unfortunately complicated.
This design is available in 8mm and 6mm width only. 6mm is DOMED profile only. 6mm and flat is not a possible configuration.

Black Ceramic wood rings cannot be resized at all! Every ring is made to the exact size provided. An error in sizing will necessitate a completely new ring. Refunds and exchanges will not be possible.
Each ring is given multiple coats of a hybrid epoxy finish, which is completely water-proof and soap proof. This protective coating is sanded up to 12,000 grit for an unbelievable, glass-like finish.
