Description:

Introducing the exquisite 5L Recoopered American Oak ex Bourbon Barrel! Crafted with precision and finesse, this barrel combines the rich heritage of American oak with the distinctive influence of bourbon. These are remade from larger 200L ex JD bourbon barrels.

Each barrel undergoes a meticulous reconditioning process that restores its integrity while preserving the unique character acquired from previous use in the bourbon aging process. This meticulous reconversion ensures that the pass use of bourbon is ingrained into the staves, as well as the shaving back of the oak and re charring process allows the influence of oak to still occur, resulting in a truly exceptional flavour profile.

With a capacity of 5 litres, this recoopered barrel is perfectly sized for those seeking an ideal aging vessel for small batch spirits or experimental blends. Its compact size allows for greater control over the aging process, enabling you to impart the desired characteristics with precision and efficiency.

The American oak ex bourbon barrel offers a plethora of flavour notes, including vanilla, caramel, and subtle spice, harmoniously blending with the spirit of your choice. Whether you're a craft distiller, home brewer, or a connoisseur looking to elevate your collection, this recoopered barrel is a superb choice.

Imbue your spirits with the richness of American oak and the essence of bourbon. Unlock new depths of complexity and sophistication with the 5L Recoopered American Oak ex Bourbon Barrel. Elevate your craft to new heights and savour the exceptional results.

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.
