250L American Oak Cask, Heavy Toast, 25mm Stave, Capacity 250L, Mill Test Report Included for Whiskey Production
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, a trusted manufacturer established in 1998 with annual export value exceeding US$5 million. Our 250L American Oak Cask with heavy toast and 25mm stave is specifically crafted for premium whiskey production, delivering authentic wood character and consistent maturation. Each cask is accompanied by a Mill Test Report to guarantee quality and performance.
This barrel is meticulously sourced from American white oak, known for its tight grain and high vanillin content. The heavy toast level (typically at 200-210°C for 45-60 minutes) creates deep caramel, toffee, and smoky notes, while the 25mm stave thickness ensures optimal liquid-to-wood interaction and structural durability. Ideal for distillers, craft breweries, and aging enthusiasts, this cask is a reliable choice for developing complex flavors.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Authentic American Oak: Sourced from sustainable forests, kiln-dried and air-seasoned for 18-24 months to reduce tannins and enhance aromatic compounds.
- Heavy Toast Profile: Produces rich notes of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and dried fruit, ideal for ryes, bourbons, and single malts.
- 25mm Stave Thickness: Provides slow, controlled oxygen exchange and prevents over-extraction of wood flavors, resulting in smoother spirits.
