Barrels for Fruit Spirits

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. The capacity can be higher or even less. Balances are not reason for reclamations.

Amarone: Amarone is a special red wine from Italy (region Veneto), which is produced by a unique process. The grapes from which Amarone is made dry for several months on wooden racks or straw mats in ventilated storage rooms or under roofs. During this time they are turned and layered by hand. Only shortly before the grapes dry to raisins, the pressing begins. The wine then ages for at least two more years in wooden barrels. The result is a heavy, powerful, almost creamy wine with a deep red colour and a great variety of aromas. The wine bears the name because of its slightly bitter note. Bitter means "amaro" in Italian.   Supplied without barrel storage or racks.Barrel is delivered with wooden or silicone bungs. You can choose a tap under accessories if required. Pre-used wooden barrels: Notches in the wood, external stress cracks or possibly an uneven bottom are not quality defects, but rather determined by the specific nature of the construction and the previous use of the barrels. The functionality of the barrel is not limited by this. The barrels are very carefully checked for sensory and technical defects during the outgoing inspection. We assume no liability for cracks or fissures that occur during the maturing process. A possible and reasonable repair is not a warranty service. Please note that in case of deconstruction the liter numbers are nominal sizes. During calibration there can be deviations. All pictures are sample pictures and optical deviations are possible.

Amarone della Valpolicella wines hold the highest Italian quality branding DOCG (Denominatione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) since 1968. Amarone always consists of following vines:- Corvina- Rondinella ProductionAccording to the Appassimento or Recioto technique, the grapes will be air dried in good ventilated storages for 2-4 months. Hence much sugar and extractives will be left and high concentrated wines will be produced. The fermentation stops very soon and is followed by a sweet Amarone with 15 % Alc. Vol.. Some alcohol-resistend yeast will transform the remaining sugar in more alcohol if the mash gets more time to rest. A dry Amarone with 16-17% Alc. Vol. is the result. This technique is called “Miracolo dell’Amarone”.

Bourbon barrel, freshly emptied ca. 190 l, from the distillery Old Forester in the USA. Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style Whisky is a product whose name says it all. To understand its significance, one must look back to the year 1920 and the “Volstead Act of 1920.” During Prohibition in the United States, only six distilleries in Kentucky were permitted to continue distilling bourbon for medicinal purposes—Old Forester among them. It is also the only bourbon that was sold by the same company before, during, and after Prohibition. What makes it special: during Prohibition, the whisky was only allowed to be bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV). Since the whisky entered the barrel at 100 proof, it reached a barrel strength of 115 proof (57.5% ABV) after the angel’s share. As a tribute to that era, Old Forester released the 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon at 115 proof.  Flavor profile: Cherries, caramel, dark chocolate, and maple syrup Malty, nutty, nougat notes Long finish with toasted coconut, dark chocolate, and toasted marshmallows By default, the barrels are equipped with a used wooden or plastic bung.
