Pure Distilling Whisky Port Barrel Chunks 500g

Description

Pure Distilling Whisky Port Barrel Chunks use re-charred oak sourced from the same type of barrels prepared for ageing premium Tasmanian whisky. These convenient barrel chunks provide an easy way to develop genuine barrel-aged oak character in homemade spirits.

In particular, these chunks are ideal for whisky made from mash or grain. They help develop greater depth, colour and mature oak character while simulating traditional barrel ageing at home.

Pure Distilling Whisky Port Barrel Chunks Instructions

40% ABV Method

• Add 500g of Whisky Port Barrel Chunks to 2.5L of 40% ABV spirit.
• Then allow the spirit to age for approximately 6–8 days.
• During ageing, taste regularly and remove the chunks once you reach your preferred level of oak character.

60% ABV Method

• Alternatively, add 500g of Whisky Port Barrel Chunks to 2.5L of spirit at 60% ABV.
• Allow the spirit to age for approximately 3–4 days.
• However, taste regularly because the higher alcohol strength extracts flavour and oak character more quickly.
• Once the desired character develops, remove the chunks and dilute the spirit to your preferred drinking strength.

Ageing times are a guide. Because genuine barrel wood naturally varies, flavour intensity and extraction time can also vary between batches.
