Pure Distilling Mariposa Bourbon Barrel Chunks 500g - Limited Release

Authentic bourbon barrel chunks sourced from barrels treated with a proprietary method.

Pure Distilling Rum Barrel Chunks are the perfect choice for creating your own delicious Rum. The barrels which originally aged this bourbon were treated using a proprietary method, which contributes to the sweet, caramel and woody notes this bourbon produces. We were especially impressed with how easy these were to drink off the rocks – definitely worth a try!.  Barrel chunks can be added to either neutral spirit or craft distilled bourbon to add smooth caramel flavours with sweet a sweet corn flavour.

Limited edition chunks are available in small, rotating batches – grab them before they’re gone!

These oak chunks can be used multiple times. If using the same oak multiple times ensure to allow adequate time on subsequent soaking for adequate flavour development.

Maturation protocols:

First Soaking: Add 2.5 litres of spirit to 500g of chunks and allow to soak for 14 days before draining and filtering through unbleached coffee filters. This first soaking will yield the most flavour in the least amount of time.
Second Soaking: Add a further 2.3 litres of spirit and soak for 14-28 days or until the desired flavour and colour is reached. Drain and filter as per first soaking.
Third soaking: Add a further 2.3 litres of spirit and soak for 5-6 weeks or until the desired flavour and colour is reached. Drain and filter as per first soaking.

Alternative protocol: Use 40-100g of barrel chunks per litre of alcohol at 60% ABV and soak until the desired flavour is reached before filtering through unbleached coffee filters and diluting to 38% ABV.
