A 500-liter mulberry wood distillation barrel represents powerful aroma development on a professional scale. Mulberry wood is among the most expressive woods used in cooperage and is specifically chosen where intense color, warm sweet aromatics, and strong recognition value are desired. In the 500-liter size, this barrel is particularly well suited for distilleries and producers who want to mature larger volumes in a controlled manner without sacrificing the distinctive character of mulberry wood.

During the aging process, the distillate develops a deep golden to amber hue and a pronounced aromatic profile in a mulberry wood barrel. Typical characteristics include sweet, almost honey-like notes, ripe fruit aromas, and a warm, rounded wood spice. Compared to smaller barrel sizes, the aromatic impact in a 500-liter barrel is more balanced and even, making mulberry wood ideal for longer maturation periods, structured primary aging, and high-quality series production. Tannins remain softly integrated and support a full, harmonious texture in the spirit.

For our new 500-liter mulberry wood distillation barrels, we exclusively use carefully selected woods from sustainable sources in France and Hungary. This meticulous raw material selection is essential to ensure even maturation and controlled flavor development in large barrel volumes. Each barrel is handcrafted by experienced international master coopers and precisely adapted to the unique properties of this highly aromatic wood. Before delivery, every barrel undergoes a comprehensive quality inspection to verify tightness, workmanship, and wood quality.

By choosing a new 500-liter mulberry wood distillation barrel from OAKBARRELS.SHOP, you invest in an exceptional large-format barrel that combines intense aromatics with balance and structure - an ideal solution for producers looking to use mulberry wood strategically to give their spirits depth, expression, and a clear premium positioning.
