Barrel Down South Keeneland Mint Julep Candle

To repurpose the cup, simply freeze the vessel for a few hours to shrink the remaining wax, then pop it out with a butter knife. You can then wash the stainless steel cup with warm, soapy water to remove any residue before using it for drinks.

Yes, the vessel is made from food-grade stainless steel, making it perfectly safe to use as a traditional mint julep cup once the wax is removed and the container is thoroughly cleaned.

The scent is designed to be warm and sophisticated rather than overpowering. It balances the sweet, oaky notes of bourbon with the earthy, rich undertones of tobacco, making it ideal for living rooms or home bars.

The hammered texture is quite forgiving and helps mask minor fingerprints compared to a polished, smooth surface. Like most stainless steel, it is durable and resistant to tarnish, though a quick wipe with a soft cloth will keep it looking its best.

While the stainless steel vessel is sturdy, keep in mind that wind can cause the flame to flicker and burn unevenly. It is best suited for indoor use or a sheltered patio area where the scent can properly circulate.
