RECONDITIONED OAK BARRELS –
STR CASKS FOR ENHANCED FLAVOR DEPTH
Our reconditioned oak barrels – also known as STR barrels (Scraped, Toasted, Recharred) – are the ideal solution for producers looking to combine the character of used red wine barrels with the performance of a new oak cask. These barrels are crafted from premium French or American oak barriques that were previously seasoned with full-bodied red wines.
Each barrel undergoes a professional renovation process by our expert coopers in France: the exterior is sanded, the interior is machine-scraped, and then either re-toasted or re-charred to customer specifications. This technique not only refreshes the wood’s aromatic properties but also allows precise customization of the flavor profile during further aging.
Our STR barrels are a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to new oak barrels and are perfectly suited for the aging and finishing of wine, whisky, beer, rum, or gin. They deliver vibrant freshness, depth, and structural complexity – ideal for producers seeking refined maturation results with reduced environmental impact.
