Description:
Introducing our exceptional 25L American Oak Barrel with a Medium Char – a true gem for spirits enthusiasts and artisans seeking unparalleled aging capabilities. Carefully crafted from the finest American oak, this barrel promises a remarkable maturation experience. The medium char level strikes the perfect balance, allowing flavours and aromas to develop gradually and harmoniously. There are no liners or bladders in these barrels like cheaper options out 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. From smooth vanilla and caramel to subtle smoky undertones, the oak's influence transforms spirits and wines into masterpieces. Whether you're aging wine, port, spirits including whiskey & rum, or experimenting with innovative cocktail infusions, our 25L American Oak Barrel with a Medium Char is your gateway to achieving complexity, depth, and exceptional character. Elevate your craft and savour the art of aging with this premium barrel, suited for passionate distillers and mixologists alike.

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.
