Oak Whisky Barrel Staves x 20- from Original Used casks

Product Information

I went to town building all kinds of different pieces for our home at my lovingly excited wife’s request. The more I built the more our home became a place of comfort and escape. Eventually our extended family and friends took notice and started requesting pieces from us, asking how much to pay for them. A dream was forming! What I had worked, but there still had to be a better way for cleaning a whiskey barrel stave. Maturing is very important for a good brandy, which is typically aged in oak casks. The wood used for those barrels is selected because of its ability to transfer certain aromas to the spirit. Cognac is aged only in oak casks made from wood from the Forest of Tronçais and more often from the Limousin forests.

Angels' share" is a term for the portion (share) of a wine or distilled spirit's volume that is lost to evaporation during aging in oak barrels. The ambient humidity tends to affect the composition of this share. Drier conditions tend to make the barrels evaporate more water, strengthening the spirit. However, in higher humidities, more alcohol than water will evaporate, therefore reducing the alcoholic strength of the product. This alcoholic evaporate encourages the growth of a darkly colored fungus, the angels' share fungus, Baudoinia compniacensis, which tends to appear on the exterior surfaces of most things in the immediate area. [25] [26] Water storage [ edit ] International laws require any whisky bearing the label " Scotch" to be distilled and matured in Scotland for a minimum of three years and one day in oak casks.

The barrels are then emptied and sulphured, then later filled with wine. At Matanzas Creek, Dave Ramey is trialling hot water, cold water and no treatment at all. This purpose of this fill is to encourage the barrel to seal itself, avoiding future costly wine leakage.Generally speaking there are three primary sources of oak for production of barrels for use in winemaking. These are France, America and several nations across Central and Eastern Europe, which for the purpose of this article I shall bulk together. In America the oak species used in making barrels is Quercus Alba and in much of France and Central/Eastern Europe it is Quercus Patraea with a little Quercus Robur in the forest of Limousin, France. The species and origin of the oak widely determines the physiological composition of the wood and thus the way in which it will influence a finished wine. We ran several tests for the whisky industry. We evaluatedthe following products from barrel staves: ASIL Insight: WTO Protections for Food Geographic Indications".
