AMERICAN WOOD - EUROPEAN HANDCRAFT

American oak is particularly popular in the whisky industry, but also utilized for numerous wines and spirits. Characteristically, the medium to large grain American white oak emits vanilla flavours and is rich in tannin. The combination of before mentioned characteristics develop the unique style of oak aged distillates. Preferred source for the American oak is Missouri and Pennsylvania; the specific growing areas are responsibly and sustainably managed.

These barrels of American oak are produced by hand at our experienced French and Spanish cooperages and are assembled in an outstanding quality.
