They are made from Ash wood (Fraxinus excelsior), an old wood type for barrel-making. The barrels are for aging of distillates, such as grain and fruit spirits, but without release some of its color. This wood ensures a balanced maturation through a restrained micro-oxygenation without colorants.The spirit ages in the pureness of its nature and the taste is pleasantly soft.

Barrels from mulberrywood are excellent for aging plum or other stone fruits. A very golden colour and sweet flavours are characteristics after aging. Recommended also for pomace or grappa. Mulberry wood, one high-aromatic wood combined with a high color yield during the maturation in the barrel. Originally this wood has been produced from excellent wine barrels and it presents a special freshness and a flavor of fruits for weeks during the summer. Mulberry wood is well-suited for aging of the plum distillate or some other stone fruits. It provides a deep golden-brown color and a sweet aroma during the maturation. It is also ideal for aging of Grappa. The fantastic results are meanwhile being clearly different from cider brandy of stylistic Calvados. In contrast to our other wooden aging barrels, these mulberry barrels have been lacquered with a certified, breathable clear coat which supports the tightness of the mulberry barrel, which is not at all easy due to its characteristics. This barrel hereby provides a slightly lower microoxygenation. Please note, the content indicated for wooden casks do not correspond with net capacity. The capacity can be higher or even less.

Made of wild cherry wood - Peunus Avium. Barrels equipped with galvanized hoops. Toasting light. Cherry is still the distiller’s most favorable taste. And that not only because of the fruit’s fertility but also because it is an inherent part of the culinary culture of Southern Germany and Switzerland. Since 150 years, the particular climatic conditions there and the soil conditions that the cherry trees need to enforce the fruit’s most aromatic evolvement have been and are still appreciated. The sweet cherry has not for nothing been named tree of the year 2010. It is a stone fruit and belongs to the rose family. The “kirsch” is characterized by its complex taste that takes long at its end as well as the decent and subtle flavor. Initiates describe the favor during tastings often as fleshy, fruity, chocolate, sourly aromatic, juicy, lusty or nuttily aromatic. The most crucial point for the distillers is, however, also the question if “stonetone”, i. e. an almond or marchpane flavor is desired. The question if this flavor or homogenous kirsch with a discrete fruit nature should be pursued is highly discussed. Thankfully one should say. Cause: As is generally known, tastes are different. Note:Cherry wood in the area of distillate is not always easy to process, this requires the growth forms of the cherry tree. To support the tightness, we paint the small cherry wooden barrels just like our large barrels with a breathable, water-soluble lacquer, which meets all certification requirements in the food industry and barrel construction!Please note, the content indicated for wooden casks do not correspond with net capacity.

We produce the chestnut barrels by ourselves under our own brand Eder - FassStolz®. Our chestnuts - one of the most valuable chestnut stews in Germany come from the region of Wasgau / Trifels. Chestnut wood was already used in the 18th century for the storage of wines. It is characterized by a fine natural sweetness, pronounces the fruit body of the wine and controls little tannin to the wine. In the distillate sector chestnut wood is now particularly popular for apple distillates but also cherrybrandy and "harder" brandies such as Korn. The barrels are toasted inside (over chestnut wood fire) and left outside raw. The bung stave is made of oak to ensure stability. Please note, the content indicated for wooden casks do not correspond with net capacity. The capacity can be higher or even less. Balances are not reason for reclamations. The barrels are fitted with a wooden bung. They are supplied without barrel storage or rack. The bung stave is made of oak to ensure stability. Please note that the chestnut wood will release its aromas to the beverage stored in the barrel after a short time.

These acacia barrels are ideal for use as distillate barrels because the interior of this acacia barrel is raw – for better breathing and aging.

The exterior of this acacia barrel has been toasted lightly. All of these barrels are equipped with galvanized hoops. The acacia barrels from small barrel series have been toasted lightly; the high toasted acacia barrels provide a strong punch with significant effects on whisky or Kornbrand etc. The acacia barrels do not color as strongly as oak barrels or mulberry barrels, they hardly give cis-lactone and therefore they are suitable for pure maturation of many fruit spirits, such as elegant grape marc spirit.
