Sugar Maple 6.4L Barrel *EXPERIMENTAL*

Enhance Your Spirits with Our Sugar Maple Hybrid Barrel

This barrel highlights the smooth, distinct flavors of Sugar Maple wood. Inspired by discussions with a local rum distillery about the difficulties of building maple barrels, we decided to accept the challenge and innovate. The result is this maple barrel, featuring the rich, syrupy character typical of this often underappreciated American tree.

Should this barrel not perform as expected, we are committed to replacing it with a standard oak barrel. Your involvement in this experimental phase is not just valued, it's crucial. Together, let's explore the potential of these maple barrels.

Features:

• The distinctive flavor profile of Sugar Maple imparts a smooth, syrupy character to your spirits. This is used to enhance the complexity and depth of flavors, offering a unique profile that sets it apart from those aged in traditional oak barrels.
• Stainless steel can and spigot provide an inert material that won’t impact the flavor
• White Oak bung and beeswax application ensure a tight seal for optimal aging.

Capacity:

With a 1.8-gallon (6.5 L) capacity, this barrel is ideal for achieving exceptional results.

Extras:

Includes the bung used for testing and an additional new unused bung.
