French Oak Squares (200g)
French Oak Squares to wood and color your spirit product through direct infusion or maceration.
Superior medium roasted French Oak staves cut. Infuse Oak in wine or distilled spirits for flavour and colour.
Two ways of getting the most of your wood chips:
1. Infuse a stave (i.e. 1-2g per liter spirits) in your spirits until it develops your preferred level of "woodiness". Then remove the stave and bottle your spirits.
2. Fill a bottle about 3/4 full with strong neutral spirits (i.e. at 80% abv). Infuse for a few weeks in a warm area (but not direct sunlight). Thereafter use this "wood extract" to "instantly mature" your spirits.
Tips:
There is no "right or wrong" quantities or specific periods to infuse the wood chips.
1. The higher the temperature - the quicker the extraction of the woody aromas.
2. The stronger the alcohol - the quicker
3. The more chips you use - the quicker
4. The smaller the wood chips - the quicker
5. First use the color as a guide and then on regular intervals, nose and taste the product until you've reached your preferred level of "woodiness"
