Mezcal barrel 225 l

Freshly emptied 225 l Mezcal barrels.

The mezcal is made of agave like tequila. A tequila is a mezcal, but a mezcal is not just a tequila.

In comparison to tequila the mezcal may be made from several varieties of agave, not just the blue weber agave. As a result, the Mezcal offers a greater variety in taste. Another difference is that in the mezcal production mostly traditional processes like the palenques are used. At Mezcal, a maximum of 20% foreign sugar may be added, with tequila up to 49%. Because of this, the fermentation takes much longer - matching the "mañana, mañana" mentality of the Mexicans.

An interesting and diverse barrel for reviving beer and distillates.

Aroma: a hint of smoke, earthy and floral.

Dimensions approx.:
Height: 90 cm
Ø Belly: 71 cm
Ø Head: 58 cm

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 - 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.
