American Oak Barrels
Liquor aging barrels can be made from oak grown all over the world but most of them are made from oak grown in France or the United States. Ideally, this oak grows in cooler climates. The reason for this is that the cooler temperatures give the trees time to mature at a very slow rate, thus giving them a desirably tight grain. American white oak grows across the U.S., mainly in the Midwest and Appalachian areas.
American oak barrels are generally thought to produce bolder, more enriched flavors and add a hint of vanilla to the liquid inside. This is exactly the type of quality American white oak barrels you’ll find at Red Head Oak Barrels. They source much of their oak from California, Missouri, and Kentucky to ensure the best quality possible. Red Head Oak Barrels also employs their own cooper (barrel maker) to make each and every barrel to their exacting standards and specifications. This ensures that every barrel made by them is created with the craftsmanship you’d expect from an American made product.
