Introducing the exquisite 5L American White Oak Barrel with Medium Char, where tradition meets craftsmanship. This smaller-sized barrel is a perfect companion for those seeking to infuse their spirits, ports or wines with the unmistakable flavours of American oak, enhanced by a medium char. These have no liner or bladder like cheaper options on the market. Come with natural light food grade exterior varnish, black or stainless steel bands option and stainless steel tap.
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. These are perfect for storing and maturing your favourite wine, port and spirits.
Handcrafted with precision, this barrel is made from select American oak, known for its exceptional ability to impart rich and complex flavors. The medium char level delicately caramelizes the wood's surface, unlocking a symphony of aromas and tastes that will captivate your senses.
With a capacity of 5 litres, this barrel offers a perfect opportunity for home enthusiasts, distillers, or brewers to experiment and elevate their creations. The intimate size allows for faster maturation, ensuring that your spirit, wine or port develop depth and character in a shorter time frame.
Indulge in the notes of vanilla, toasted caramel, and subtle spices that intertwine with the liquor of your choice. Each sip will transport you to a realm of sophistication and refinement, as the oak imparts its unique essence to the blend.

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.
