Pure Distilling Agave Bourbon Barrel Chunks 500g - Limited Release
Wet Barrel Chunks
Authentic bourbon barrel chunks sourced from barrels that have previously aged tequila.
Limited edition chunks are sourced from rare and specialty casks that don't often appear on the market, and are considered limited release only.
These chunks are cut from bourbon barrels that previously aged tequila, creating a unique fusion. The result is a distinctive bourbon with a sweet, warm finish and a smoky aroma. These chunks can be used to age a unique bourbon or can be used in small amounts to add oak character to your resposado or anejo tequilas!
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.
