Much of the flavor and aroma you see in the whiskey comes from wood that has been matured. The barrel provides over 50% of flavor to the final result and therefore is crucial in the maturation of whiskey. Normally distilleries not detail what type of barrel used for whiskey, except some like Macallan, Balvenie and Glendronach. Sometimes independent bottlers buy a cask at the distillery and usually if you put all the information available on the barrel. We generally three different parameters: • Size • Uses • Prior Content Size Matters Forget everything you'd been told, size matters a lot. The flavor of the whiskey is, as I told you before, a result of contact with the spirits of the wood, so a smaller more liquid contact with the wood and whiskey matured faster. There are different types of barrels, then the most common: Fat woman It's a barrel of around 700 liters one that was often used in the bourbon industry. Nowadays it is only used for some blended or vatted Whiskey Barrels. Stakes are made of American oak. Madeira Drum A barrel of 650 liters short and fat with a large diameter thick made with French oak stakes. They are used mainly for finishing whiskeys. Port Pipe It's a 650-liter barrel slim high stakes made with European oak. Normalment a barrel seems common that has been narrowed by the ends. Used primarily to give a final port wine to whiskey. Butt A barrel of 500 liters tall, narrow oak stakes made with European and mainly used in the industry of Spanish sherry in Jerez. Puncheon It's a 500-liter barrel low and wide which is usually made of oak or American or Spanish oak. It is also often used in the wine industry to mature sherry and rum. Barrique This is the standard barrels used in the wine industry. They have 300 liter capacity. Are often used to give a final whiskey. Hogshead The word derives from the English term hogshead Hogges hede using in the fifteenth century to refer to a unit of measurement equal to 63 gallons. It is a 225 liter barrel capaciad and today are made with American oak. Used to create bourbon, by law, and then sent to Scotland and Ireland to mature whiskey. It is the most common type of barrel. ASB The ASB is the American standard barrel and hogshead drift that have reduced its capacity to 200 liters for easy handling. Like the hogshead, are widely used in the bourbon industry. Quarter Cask It's a quarter cask of ASB, 50 liters, but maintains the original aspect ratio of the American standard barrel. Being so small very quickly give the whiskey flavor. Uses and previous content Whether they would have had the barrel before we can speak of a barrel of sherry, bourbon, Sauternes. Thus depending on the contents of the time prior to the barrels we use are: First fill Thus, if the previous content was a different wine or whiskey spirits speak of a first fill casks of first fill. These are the barrels that impart more flavor and color to the whiskey. If you put the bottle has matured in bourbon casks are talking also of the same case. Depending on the previous contents of the barrel will face: Sherry The barrel has content before sherry: Fino, Oloroso, Amontillado, Palo Cortado. We have built a brand that represents quality aging products for the beverage industry, Oak Barrels and custom wood displays for marketing all sorts of products. French oak barrels as well as many other types of barrels including Wine, Whiskey, Wooden, and Bourbon, Rum and oak casks.
