American Oak chips have large surface area compared to staves or barrels. This means a faster extraction of colour and flavour when compared to staves or barrels. As with most oak products these chips will produce a small amount of sediment and/or tiny chip fragments. To stop these ending up in your final product we recommend filtering through unbleached coffee filters prior to drinking.

Medium toast American oak chips produce a more intense oak flavour including hints of vanilla and caramel than untoasted chips. Toasted American oak can be added to neutral spirit for a rounded oak finish or craft distilled whisky for a traditional aged whisky character. Toasted American Oak also provides an 'oak sweetness' that compliments most dark spirits and dark beers.

These oak chips can be used multiple times. If using the same oak multiple times ensure to allow adequate time on subsequent soakings for adequate flavour development. Use new chips for each soaking for optimal results.
