Superior Distillate Barrels from Speyside Bourbon Cooperage® – Maximum Maturity Begins with the Wood
With its Superior distillate barrels, Speyside Bourbon Cooperage® sets a new benchmark in barrel making. At the heart of this barrel line is an uncompromising wood maturation process: 36 months of natural air-drying outdoors - significantly longer than industry standard and deliberately chosen to achieve exceptional sensory results.
Since 1947, Speyside Bourbon Cooperage® has stood for artisanal excellence and technological innovation. Only carefully selected American white oak from the renowned growing regions of the Northern Highlands, the Appalachians, and the Ozark Mountains is used for the Superior barrels. A large portion of the wood also comes from the immediate surroundings of the cooperage’s location in Jackson, Ohio.
36 Months of Wood Seasoning – The Decisive Quality Factor
The exceptionally long 36-month outdoor air-drying period allows for a particularly gentle and natural leaching of undesirable bitter compounds. At the same time, the wood matures structurally, gains stability, and develops a complex, well-balanced aromatic potential. Notes of vanilla, delicate caramel, mild toasted aromas, and an elegant oak sweetness form the foundation for harmonious spirit maturation without excessive woody harshness.
To complement the natural seasoning, the wood undergoes a precisely controlled technical kiln-drying process in the company’s own systems. This interaction of time, nature, and technology ensures consistent quality with maximum aromatic depth.
Precision Meets Craftsmanship
The barrel staves are processed and assembled with extreme accuracy using state-of-the-art, proprietary CNC technology. The result is exceptionally precise, virtually leak-free barrels that perform reliably both in first fill and across multiple aging cycles.
Created for the Highest Demands
The Superior distillate barrels with 36 months of wood seasoning are designed for distilleries and discerning producers who accept no compromises - neither in wood quality nor in the maturation of their spirits. They are the ideal choice for premium spirits with depth, elegance, and long aging potential.
More time. More maturity. More character.
