We offer great tasting American Oak barrels from the Saury Sonoma Cooperage in California. Oak is sourced and seasoned in the forests of North-East America and then toasted using our long slow toasting methods to bring out delicious aromas of dark chocolate and mocha. Our coopers finish the toasting with a higher temperature to deliver a savoury palate profile which marries perfectly with the sweetness of quality American Oak. There’s no coconut here, think vanilla, chocolate, sweet oak and spice!
Recommended for high quality wines that require an elegant oak influence
