American Oak Cask
1L American Oak Cask
Each of these small casks are carefully handcrafted from American Oak timber and are perfectly suited for ageing spirits and cocktails. The oak staves (strips) are cut and assembled without the use of any glue. Stainless steel barrel hoops help compress the barrel and ensure a tight fit between the staves. The cask is lightly toasted on the inside to maximise the flavour imparted by the oak.
Made in the USA.

Loved them
Just as described and the quality is pretty good as well as the phamplet describing the process.
So far so good. The capacity of the nominal 1 litre barrel is actually 1.3 litres. Perfect for aging 2 bottles with a little left as a reference sample. Water came out after 1 week with good colour, strong tannin, subtle oak, and a hint of charcoal. The first batch of negroni is still aging after 4 days and going well. No charcoal is evident. Very happy.
