Oak wood chips - small pieces of oak wood used for providing liquor with aroma and flavour. If you make wines, infusion liqueurs or distillates at home, you know very well that liquor stored in oak barrels gains a unique aroma and flavour. You can obtain similar effect in a quicker and less expensive way by using oak chips.
Oak wood chips are the best alternative to using oak wood barrels. Thanks to using them we provide liquor (wine, infusion liqueur, distillate) with both aroma and colour. It is a far simpler and less expensive method of liquor aging in comparison to traditional aging in barrels. Oak wood chips can be dosed either during fermentation or to a finished liquor.
Thanks to the addition of oak wood chips, the liquor prepared will very quickly gain discernible oak wood notes, the aroma of vanilla and a deep dark amber colour.
