A "recoopered barrel" refers to a barrel that has been refurbished/remade. 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.

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.
