New Oak barrels

New oak barrels are freshly constructed barrels made from oak wood, used primarily in aging wines, spirits, or other beverages. They are unpreviously used, which means they impart distinctive flavors and aromas from the wood, such as vanilla, caramel, or spice. The oak also allows small amounts of oxygen to interact with the liquid, aiding in maturation and enhancing complexity. Because they are new, they tend to transfer more pronounced flavor characteristics compared to seasoned or used barrels. These barrels are favored for adding bold, fresh oak influence and contributing to the overall profile of the finished product.
