Charred casks significantly enhance whisky's flavour profile. The heat generated from charring breaks down lignin in the wood, producing vanillin, which imparts sweet vanilla notes. Caramelised wood sugars add flavours of caramel and toffee, while the breakdown of hemicellulose introduces toasted oak and dark chocolate notes. By choosing a charred cask, your spirit will develop into a rich, luxurious whisky with complex layers of sweetness and depth.
