Product information "Moscatel barrel 225 l - Roxo-Branco"

This Portuguese speciality inspires not only by its rarity, but also with your incomparably exciting sensory possibilities. Already for 20 years these barrels are in use, the last 10 years of aging of liqueur wine from Muscatel (type Roxo & Branco). The barrels were used for aging under the care of Companhia Agrícola do Sanguinhal in the Óbidos region. The high sugar content of 38 g/l shows a clear direction. Not only does sugar act as a natural flavor enhancer, but in the form of these pre-used barrels, it brings an exciting aroma structure and thus basis for your distillate. The taste is powerfully fruity with notes of jam and dried fruit.

Dimensions ca.:
Length of staves: 90 cm
Ø Head 50 cm

By default, the drums are equipped with a used wooden or plastic bung. If you want a new silicone bung, you can order it under accessories (type standard - C16).

Used wooden barrels: Notches in the wood or, in certain circumstances, an uneven base, do not constitute a quality defect, but stem from the idiosyncrasies of the production method and the prior use of the barrels. The usage of the barrel will not be affected by those! The barrels are very carefully checked by us at the exit control against sensor and technical errors. We assume no liability for cracks or splits that occur during maturation. A possible and a reasonable repair is not under guarantee.
Pictures are examples, colour variations are possible

Eder STR barrel 225 l - ex red wine

STR Cask - Shave, Toast, Re-charred. A cask that offers a combo of fresh Virgin Oak and first-fill red wine cask. As in new oak casks, the whiskey matures faster than in used casks. It still benefits from the fruity red wine notes of the pre-ageing. Dr. Jim Swan, a chemist and biologist by training and a passionate whisky expert, developed this special process. ShaveThe first step is to "shave" the cask. First, the cask is opened and the inner layer, heavily saturated with red wine, is scraped out. This gives the cask a combination of light red wine aromas and fresh oak (virgin oak).ToastThe exposed interior of the barrel is now toasted anew, by burning oak chips from old whiskey barrels. During this process, the sugar and vanillin in the oak caramelize and corresponding spicy and sweet notes are particularly accentuated. Re-charrFinally, the barrels are burned out once again to release as many aromas as possible and at the same time remove unwanted flavor carriers such as tart tannins and chemical compounds like lignin, cellulose, or hemicellulose. By default, the drums are equipped with a used wooden or plastic bung. If you want a new silicone bung, you can order it under accessories (type standard - C16).
