Ash wood offers unique sensory properties that make it ideal for experimental cask aging of whisky, brandy, rum, or fruit brandies. Ash barrels are known for their light, fresh, and well-balanced aroma profile – perfect for delicate, structured spirits with a clean character.
Ash is a dense and durable wood with medium porosity, allowing a gentle exchange between spirit and wood and a slow, measured aroma release.
Compared to oak or chestnut, ash contains fewer tannins, resulting in smooth, non-astringent flavors that never overpower the spirit.
Ash is considered an aromatically subtle wood, yet it imparts fresh, clean, slightly nutty-sweet notes that enhance light or fruity distillates.
Perfectly Sized for Home Use
At a generous yet manageable 5.2 gallons, these Ash barrels are ideal for home enthusiasts seeking professional-quality aging. Their size offers ample capacity for experimentation, while remaining convenient and practical for personal use.

The 316-gallon barrel is perfect for serious brewers. It holds a lot, and the flavor infusion from the oak is exactly what I was looking for.
