o Made of solid french oak wood.
o Fitted with 6 robust riveted metal rings (extra wide), galvanized to prevent rust.
o Treatment: Raw on the outside (natural and untreated for optimal gas exchange for the distillate to breathe), lightly toasted inside = burnt out (so no wax film, your distillate comes into direct contact with the oak wood).
o Advantage of toasting: The alcohol in the barrel serves as a solvent and absorbs the flavors of the wood (such as vanillin, syringaldehyde). As a result, the content changes significantly in terms of taste, color, smell, alcohol content, maturity, etc. This process is desired by winemakers / distillers, because to experiment and meet a personal, individual favorite. The degree of toasting whether lightly (= standard), medium or heavily toasted often depends on the contents of what the customer wants to fill.
o Ideal for filling, storing, maturing, changing and tapping of wine, spirits, brandy, whiskey. Also suitable for beer.
o Attention: please note the small but fine details of our barrel. The two outer rings are deliberately not plan with the wooden ring, but deliberately over a few millimeters over the wood - for the following reason: if the barrel is placed to a damp cellar floor (without stand), thereby avoid that the wood is not directly in contact with the ground and thus unpleasant moisture / dirt can reach the wood.
o Also a nice eye-catcher when it comes to an original decoration possibility.
o For dimensions see separate picture (table).
o The barrels are made from French oak in Portugal by experienced craftsmen by hand. The craftmen uses the so-called pedunculate oak, which has a slower and even growth with narrower annual rings. French oak is more expensive to buy than other woods, but has the advantage that the flavor intensity is particularly pronounced. Not every wood is suitable for a barrel and is sorted out by the craftsmen.
o From the first step to the last, starting with the selection of the wood to the final test, you can expect from the Portuguese manufacturer a precise craft and thus a high quality barrel that will meet your needs.
o The art of cooperage has been passed on and refined to descendants within the family for more than 100 years. The Portuguese manufacturer has a wealth of experience in barrel production, which will later play an important role for the distillate to be added.
o Since it is a natural raw material, different grains are possible. The wood was untreated outside and inside therefore you have to accept wood typical features such as branches, slight indentations, grains and natural discolorations count, but this is not a quality defect of the barrel. There is no 100% perfect wood without any small flaws. If there were this wood, the price would not be affordable. Please only buy if you are aware of it. The manufacturer in Portugal checks every barrel before the goods issue, so that there will be no problems later.
o We carry the complete barrel program. Starting with the choice of oak or chestnut in selectable size from 1 liter to 225 liters volume, the toasting level whether light, medium or high, whether with or without tap hole, the ring selection whether galvanized / black / stainless steel, from the barrel whether round or oval, whether with lid closed or open, whether wooden lid or transparent, whether wood or metal tap.
