Description

Introducing the exquisite 3L American Oak Barrel with Medium Char, where craftsmanship meets convenience. This compact-sized barrel is perfect for enthusiasts and connoisseurs who crave the distinct flavours of American oak, enhanced by a medium char. There are no metal or plastic liners like many 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.

Meticulously crafted from select American oak, renowned for its ability to infuse wine and spirits with unmatched complexity, this barrel embodies tradition and quality. The medium char level creates a tantalizing balance between toasty richness and subtle smokiness, resulting in a truly captivating flavour profile.

With a capacity of 3 litres, this barrel offers a unique opportunity to age smaller batches of spirits with precision and efficiency. The intimate size ensures faster maturation, allowing you to savour the exquisite flavours in less time.

Immerse yourself in the alluring notes of vanilla, caramel, and gentle oak spice that gracefully intertwine with your chosen spirit. Each sip is an invitation to indulge in the refined art of flavour infusion, as the American oak harmonizes with your blend, creating a symphony of taste.

Enhance your home bar, elevate your craft, and create unforgettable experiences with the 3L American Oak Barrel with Medium Char. Discover the magic of aging in an American oak masterpiece, and relish in the unique flavours it can bring to your spirits.

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.
