Cherry wood cubes
This cube is cut from cherry tree and enables the extraction of the typical cherry style and colours your product reddish-gold. 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. Please observe the spirit regulations of your country! Price is per kg.

Aged gin barrels are a very rare commodity. The aging of gin in wooden barrels has just been given a fresh lease of life. And talking of fresh – herein lies the forte of gin barrels. The bitter and herbaceous spice of resin and grass from the juniper berries produces an incomparable flavour which can be imparted to your distillate by aging or finishing it in used gin barrels. The flavour diversity and complexity of gin is an interesting component in the distillates finishing process. Not for nothing is gin a popular player on the bar scene. After all, gin, due to its flavour, is an indispensable ingredient in many cocktails, reflecting its diversity but also its compatibility. The compatibility of flavours shows how a barrel, through its aging of gin, can give a product that certain something.Supplied without barrel storage or racks. By default, the barrels are equipped with a used wooden or plastic bung. If you want a new silicone bung, you can order it under accessories (type standard - C14).
