All Essences by Flavour

These chunks are cut from bourbon barrels that previously aged tequila, creating a unique fusion. The result is a distinctive bourbon with a sweet, warm finish and a smoky aroma.

Soaking Suggestion – Soak 2.5L of 40% spirit for 8 days or to taste.

Maturation protocols:

First Soaking: Add 2.5 litres of spirit to 500g of chunks and allow to soak for 14 days before draining and filtering through unbleached coffee filters. This first soaking will yield the most flavour in the least amount of time.
Second Soaking: Add a further 2.3 litres of spirit and soak for 14-28 days or until the desired flavour and colour is reached. Drain and filter as per first soaking.
Third soaking: Add a further 2.3 litres of spirit and soak for 5-6 weeks or until the desired flavour and colour is reached. Drain and filter as per first soaking.

Alternative protocol: Use 40-100g of barrel chunks per litre of alcohol at 60% ABV and soak until the desired flavour is reached before filtering through unbleached coffee filters and diluting to 38% ABV.
