Single Cask Number 19/543.

A North American oak, Chinkapin (Quercus muehlenbergii) with a high char and high toast greatly impacts colour & flavour without overpowering the maturing spirit. The high char increases the internal surface area of the cask, allowing more of the spirit to come into contact with the oak, resulting in a much darker colour.

Freshly charred and toasted, these custom made Chinkapin, or Quercus Muehlenbergii American white oak casks are a type of oak native to central and eastern North America. The fresh charring of the cask brings a rich colour and flavour early on in the maturation process, and the high toast caramelises the natural sugars in the wood.

Tasting Notes: Vibrant dark fruits and sweet ginger and honey.
