Pure Distilling Bourbon Barrel Chunks 500g

Description

Pure Distilling Bourbon Barrel Chunks are cut from genuine, freshly emptied American oak barrels previously used to mature bourbon in Kentucky, USA. Repurposed for home spirit ageing, these barrel chunks add authentic barrel-aged oak character to your own spirits.

Expect bold vanilla and charred oak flavours balanced by sweet spice and a smooth, rounded finish. They are ideal for ageing neutral spirit or vodka when you want to develop a rich bourbon-style character at home.

Pure Distilling Bourbon Barrel Chunks Instructions

40% ABV Method

• Add 500g of Bourbon Barrel Chunks to 2.5L of 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka.
• Allow to age for approximately 6–8 days.
• Taste regularly and remove the barrel chunks once your preferred level of oak character has developed.

60% ABV Method

• Add 500g of Bourbon Barrel Chunks to 2.5L of spirit at 60% ABV.
• Allow to age for approximately 3–4 days.
• Taste regularly, as the higher alcohol strength extracts flavour and oak character more quickly.
• Once the desired character has developed, remove the barrel chunks and dilute the spirit to your preferred drinking strength.

Ageing times are a guide. Genuine barrel wood can naturally vary, so flavour intensity and extraction time may differ between batches.
