A sloped track or chute that uses gravity to move barrels between elevations within a distillery complex.
This database describes whiskey-domain equipment and physical tools. Writing software, editorial services, and publishing platforms belong in Publishing Tools & Services.
Tool definition
A gravity barrel run is a sloped track or chute positioned between elevations so that a barrel can descend under gravity rather than being carried or mechanically lifted for the entire movement.
Operational context
It belongs to internal distillery material handling. Safe operation would depend on slope, stops, restraints, inspection, staffing, and load control, but those details are not supplied here.
Evidence and context
Peachee photographs and identifies a gravity barrel run at PDF screens 52–53. The visible structure and the caption support its material-handling role. This source does not establish dimensions, capacity, or a safe operating procedure.
Review gate
Lifecycle Status: Active. Suitable as a historically evidenced equipment record; technical specifications remain open.

Any operating sequence above is a researcher-organized model, not a procedure established by this photographic book. Photographs document appearance; captions supply attributed functions. Full-source completion remains open for soft embedded fine print. Image67 is an Ohio state price label, not proof of a federal bonded stamp; caption68 does not establish a universal post-Repeal bottled-in-bond requirement. A plumb line indicates vertical alignment rather than complete structural safety. Material choice or warehouse design intent alone does not demonstrate fire performance or sensory outcomes. Preserve the source-specific limits before Academy reuse.
