Smell the difference. Essencia Single Malt Whisky Barrel Chunks are made from wet, freshly emptied single malt whisky barrels.

Soak up to 2L of 40% ABV spirit for 10 days for and authentic barrel-aged flavour.

Chunked down from whisky-soaked oak barrels that have aged whisky for 4-10 years, these chunks offer exceptional quality compared to cheaper dry staves or chips. The careful processing retains the charred interior of the barrels, enhancing the oak’s flavour infusion and providing a substantial surface area for your spirit. This ensures rapid and genuine aging. Unlike dry alternatives, Essencia Barrel Chunks impart a rich, authentic single malt whisky flavour.

A special activated carbon that removes impurities as your wash is fermenting. Gives a cleaner tasting, smoother spirit.

Replicate the renowned Lincoln County Process used in producing almost all Tennessee whiskeys prior to barrel ageing. This traditional method gently filters new-make spirit through a bed of sugar maple charcoal, removing volatile compounds and softening the spirit before maturation. The result is a smoother, mellower whiskey with enhanced caramel and vanilla notes once aged on oak.

Crafted from high-quality steam-activated coconut shell carbon, these 12×40 mesh chips offer exceptional surface area and low dust content for superior filtration performance. Designed with a broad range of pore sizes, they efficiently remove low to medium molecular weight organic compounds, delivering a cleaner, smoother spirit with reduced impurities and off-notes. A versatile all-rounder, ideal for polishing most distilled spirits before flavouring or ageing.
