Oak Infusion Spirals - 8"
The Infusion Spiral system is the reliable oak alternative for simple and fast extraction of toasted oak aroma and flavor compounds that deliver refined, integrated results eight times faster than, and at a small fraction of the price of, a new barrel. Distilleries are thinking outside the box with the Infusion Spiral. Savings in cost, labor and time come to the production process of spirits when Oak Spirals are used in place of traditional barrels. What’s more, it’s easy to experiment with new woods and toasts by ordering our carboy spirals in medium and heavy toasts.
The big surface area of the spiral design allows a shorter pickup time of wood character. The spiral shape achieves maximum accelerated extraction time. Place directly into the spirits. Toasting is a process measured in time & temperature, not color. Differences in darkness or lightness of identically toasted woods is due to natural differences in the wood before toasting, such as grain tightness & moisture, each of which falls into a range of values that meets our standard.
