Description:

Introducing our exquisite 10L American Oak Barrel with a Medium Char, a must-have companion for spirits enthusiasts and craftsmen alike. Crafted from high-quality American oak, this barrel offers a unique and distinctive aging experience. The medium char level strikes a perfect balance, allowing for a gradual infusion of flavours and aromas. There are no liners or bladders like many other cheaper options on the market.These also boast superior 18-20mm thick oak staves, compared to many cheaper options on the market of around 10mm. This means your barrel will have less chance of leaking or leaching through the staves and also increase the longevity of your barrel and the flavours it will impart. This results in a smooth and sophisticated interaction between the oak and the stored liquid, creating a harmonious marriage of rich vanilla, caramel, and toasted notes. Whether you're aging your favourite port, whiskey, rum, or even experimenting with cocktails, our 10L American Oak Barrel with a Medium Char will enhance the maturation process, adding depth, complexity, and a touch of craftsmanship to your creations. Embrace the art of aging with this exceptional barrel and unlock the true potential of your spirits.

    VIRGIN OAK vs RECOOPERED (recycled) OAK

    Virgin American Oak means that these barrels are constructed from unused brand new virgin American oak and then given a medium interior char which helps pass on the flavours of the oak and char to your liquor. These barrels typically impart stronger oak and char flavours compared to recoopered barrels which we also stock.

    A "recoopered barrel" refers to a barrel that has been refurbished. The term "cooper" comes from "cooperage," which is the craft of making barrels. Our recoopered barrels have been reconstructed from larger 200-300L barrels, the process involves breaking them down into smaller staves, assembling new steel bands, shaving back the oak to expose fresh oak and re charring. Resulting in essentially a brand new barrel, but still able to pass on the flavours from the previous liqour held along with subtle notes of oak and char. Resulting in a very unique flavour profile.

    Our American Oak range is recoopered from ex Bourbon or Sherry barrels, whereas our French Oak range is recoopered from red wine barrels.

    Perfect gift for my Dad!

    I got the barrel for my dad as he was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and has taken up distilling as a past time as he can no longer work. He was going on and on about these barrels he saw on the internet but didn’t have the money to buy it for himself (cancer sucks), so I bought it for him as a present and it was the happiest I’ve seen him since before his diagnosis. On first impression there were HEAPS of leaks but we followed the instructions and it sealed up perfectly within the 4 days. It is a perfect size and looks so fancy sitting inside on display. Can’t wait to try his first lot of liquor! The joy this small barrel has given my dad in the worst time of our lives has been such a blessing. The barrel arrived so quickly and it was SO easy to assemble. Thank you Adelaide wine barrels, to you we are just another customer but to us you brought a bit of joy back into our family.
