Red Gum Port Barrel Chunks 500g

Description

Red Gum Port Barrel Chunks 500g are sourced from Western Australian barrels crafted from native red gum timber and previously used to mature Australian port. The seasoned barrel wood provides an easy way to add rich colour, complexity and mature barrel character to homemade spirits.

Unlike standard oak ageing products, red gum contributes its own distinctive character. Meanwhile, the previous port maturation adds layers of dried fruit, raisin and plum alongside subtle caramel sweetness.

Gentle spice and a soft earthy warmth from the seasoned red gum further develop the spirit as it ages. As a result, these barrel chunks are particularly well suited to grain and mash-based whiskies, as well as neutral spirit where a rich port-barrel influence is desired.
