GRAND AROMA TOASTING – INNOVATION IN OAK BARRELS
The art of toasting wooden barrels has always offered space for creativity and innovation. From this mindset, the unique GRAND AROMA TOASTING (GAT) process was developed – a new dimension in barrel refinement.
WHAT IS GAT?
GAT is a purely natural, patented process in which high-quality oak barrels are toasted using selected aromatic botanicals. Through precise application of heat, essential oils and aromas are deeply embedded into the wood. The result: completely new aroma profiles and previously untapped possibilities for the maturation and aging of spirits.
THREE YEARS OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Over an intensive three-year research and development period, a deep understanding of the interaction between wood, heat, and botanicals was built. The potential of this innovative process is virtually limitless – GAT opens the door to a previously unattainable diversity of natural aromas in premium barrels.
CERTIFIED AND INTERNATIONALLY PROVEN
GAT is not only patented but also ISO 22000 certified for food safety. International pilot projects – especially in whisky and rum production – have already delivered impressive results.
EFFICIENT AND CUSTOMIZABLE
The maturation process can be precisely controlled and significantly accelerated: within just 4 to 6 months, the desired aromas are harmoniously developed in the distillate. GAT barrels are ideal for finishing whisky, rum, tequila, brandy, and many other spirits.
CREATE YOUR OWN AROMA WORLD
With GAT, you can choose from a wide range of botanicals to develop a unique flavor profile – tailored to your vision. You're welcome to contribute your own ideas and regional botanicals. Maturation trials can be conducted with your own distillates – strictly confidential and supported by our team of experts.
CATEGORY "ROASTED GRAINS" – DEPTH, WARMTH AND ROASTED AROMAS
The ROASTED GRAINS category stands for intense, warm aromas with malty depth. Natural notes of roasted coffee and cocoa give the distillate an unmistakable richness and complexity. Barrel refinement with these botanicals creates a powerful, harmonious flavor profile – perfect for characterful spirits with depth and expression.
All aromas within the ROASTED GRAINS category are freely combinable and can be individually tailored to your spirit – for full-bodied, bold compositions with roasted notes and a smooth structure.
