How To Use
Use 500g of barrel chunks per 1L of 38% ABV spirit in a clean glass jar or stainless-steel vessel.
Pre-soaking the chunks can help speed up the seasoning process. Add the chunks to your spirit and cover.
Fast soak: 3–6 days to start infusing oaky characteristics and burnishing new spirit.
Longer ageing: Leave for a few weeks for deeper, more flavoursome results.
Taste regularly and extend ageing time if desired. Once you're happy with the flavour, drain and filter the spirit. Oak extraction varies, so taste as you go. A shorter soak gives you more control over the oak and char, while longer ageing develops deeper whisky barrel character. Do not reuse the chunks.
Brew Tip
Don't use a demijohn - the chunks expand during the soak process, so they can get stuck in the neck of the demijohn! We recommend using a 4-litre glass jar with a wide mouth.
For a smoother, more rounded flavour, use alongside other oak essences. The chunks can also be used in combination for a more layered result.
Proper Tasmanian whisky character, straight from the oak.
