Ash wood distillation barrels represent an especially subtle and clean approach to barrel aging. Ash features a light yellowish to pale reddish-white color and is widely distributed across Europe as a hardwood. Thanks to its uniform wood structure and very low tannin content, ash is ideally suited for spirits in which the original character should be preserved and only gently refined.
During maturation in an ash barrel, the wood interacts with the distillate in a very restrained manner. The aromatic profile remains light, fresh, and clean, without developing dominant wood notes. Minimal tannins provide a soft structure that enhances clarity and balance in the spirit. For this reason, ash wood distillation barrels are particularly attractive for fruit brandies, premium fruit spirits, clear spirits, gin, and experimental aging projects where the wood must not overpower the base character.
Our new ash wood distillation barrels are available in sizes of 28 liters, 40 liters, 56 liters, and 112 liters, making them ideal for small batches, experimental runs, and precisely controlled maturation. For barrel production, we use exclusively sustainable and certified ash wood sourced from Europe. Each barrel is handcrafted by experienced international master coopers with great attention to detail and specifically tailored to the properties of this light, mild wood. Before shipping, every barrel undergoes a comprehensive quality inspection to ensure tightness, workmanship, and wood quality.
By choosing a new ash wood distillation barrel from OAKBARRELS.SHOP, you invest in a refined, understated aging barrel that combines clarity, balance, and artisanal quality - an ideal choice for producers who want to subtly enhance their spirits while keeping the original aromatic profile clearly in focus.
