Bourbon barrel 190 l - Old Fitzgerald
Original bourbon barrel from the renowned Old Fitzgerald series by Heaven Hill, one of the most famous wheated bourbon lines from Kentucky. The barrels were previously used for aging a classic wheated bourbon (“wheated mash bill”) with a soft, sweet profile and are especially valued for their elegant, rounded aroma characteristics. Old Fitzgerald is known for its signature style with notes of vanilla, caramel, honey, pastry, light oak, and gentle spices. The barrel aging creates a comparatively soft and balanced wood influence, making these casks ideal for controlled finishing and secondary maturation. Typical characteristics: American white oak, 190 l Ex-Old Fitzgerald / wheated bourbon Mostly first-fill bourbon barrel character Sweet and smooth aroma profile (vanilla, caramel, honey, baking spices) Balanced, medium wood activity Ideal for delicate, aromatic spirits All images are sample images; visual variations are possible. A high-quality Kentucky bourbon barrel with classic wheated character — especially suitable for distilleries and craft distillers seeking a gentle, sweet-influenced cask maturation.

Bourbonbarrel 190 l - twice selected
One barrel - two distilleries. Young, strong and full of flavor.The barrels were originally filled with bourbon in the USA before being carefully selected and then filled with single malt in Europe. The focus of these barrels is not the release of aroma through new wood, but rather the saturation with whiskey from their previous filling.These casks are ideal for storing and maturing distillates that need to spend a certain amount of time in a cask to develop their full aroma. They are more cost-effective compared to once-used barrels and also have a youthful freshness that is imbued with the characteristic aromas of bourbon. These characteristics make them perfect flavor carriers for the brewing industry, especially for refining beer. In addition, these barrels are also ideal for refining a variety of other products that can benefit from the additional aromas of whiskey, such as spices, coffee, cocoa beans and much more. 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).

Islay Single Malt Whisky barrels 125 l
Please inquire for current availability. Fresh barrels expected to be available again in the first quarter of 2026Freshly emptied 125 l Whisky barrels. These American white oak barrels were made exclusively for Laphroaig Distillery.

In the past, these casks have only come into contact with Laphroaig whiskies, which is why they give off a smoky aroma of peat ash and an intense malt and citrus scent. The relatively large surface area in the cask gives your distillate a fine structure with an extraordinary depth. Supplied without barrel storage or racks. 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.

These port wine barrels from Portugal, or to be more precise precisely from the Duoro Valley, offer an explosion of flavours. The barrels were used for Lagrima - the white port wine. With a high residual sugar content of up to 140 g/l, the full glory of the sweet fruit unfolds. The white grapes are macerated in the old port wine tradition. The aroma is anything but flat, instead it is composed of different notes: the golden wine brings an opulence of deep floral rose notes, delicate wood, light toffee, a hint of honey honey, rounded off with a very subtle salty taste on the palate. As your product matures within the white port wine barrel, the developing structure attains more complex depths that are interesting and extravagant at the same time. 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).
