Using wooden
sticks for aging alcohol is
the same as aging alcohol in
wooden barrels.
The sticks are more useful for smaller amount
of alcohol. You can age alcohol in bottle.
The stick
are changing the colour and the taste as well as the wooden barrel does but the
process takes only weeks, not years.
All wooden
sticks are made from the same wood we make our barrels.
One stick is
enough for a standard 0.750gr bottle.
OAK STICKS

are mostly used for whiskey, vodka, home brew alcohol, beers, ciders, real ales…

only few weeks.

Light Toast,
Medium Toast, Charred.
Heavy Toast brings pronounced caramelized, carbonized and toast flavours very quickly - it doesn't need much contact time.

Medium Plus Toast is between Medium and Heavy Toast.
It has aromas of honey, roasted nuts and a hint of coffee and spices. It seems to be the ideal toast level for red wines.
