How to Decide on Oak Toast Level and Country of Origin:

  • Differences between Medium toast vs. dark toast?
    • Medium toast is a less intense toasting which keeps the oak closer to its natural flavor - woodier and more tannic.
    • Dark toast provides more flavor complexity due to higher levels of wood breakdown products such as vanillin, and contains less tannin.
  • American oak vs. French oak?
    • American oak typically has a lighter, fruitier character with flavors of coconut.
    • French oak has a somewhat richer, spicier character with notes of cinnamon or nutmeg.

cubes vs staves 11/01/2021
By Tim Reid
I wanted staves, but I understand that inventory is sketchy this year with all of the supply chain backlogs.
