Description:

Embrace the artistry of aging spirits with the exquisite 3L American Oak Barrel with Medium Char. Meticulously crafted from select American oak, this barrel is a testament to tradition and impeccable craftsmanship. 

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.

The medium char level delicately enhances the wood's surface, infusing your wine and spirits with an alluring blend of toasty notes and subtle smokiness. The result is a harmonious fusion of flavours that will captivate your palate.

With a capacity of 3 litres, this barrel offers the perfect size for home enthusiasts and aspiring distillers. Experience accelerated aging as the smaller volume allows for increased interaction between the oak and your chosen spirit, producing remarkable results in less time.

Immerse yourself in the rich aromas of vanilla, caramel, and oak spice, as they dance upon your senses with each sip. The American oak imparts its distinct character, elevating your spirits to new levels of complexity and refinement.

Elevate your craft, unlock unique flavours, and create memorable moments with the 3L American Oak Barrel with Medium Char. Embrace the art of aging and indulge in the exceptional qualities that only American oak can offer.

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.
