Medium toast American Chips blend bring an aromatic sweetness and a complex array of other flavoursome compounds, including, vanilla, caramel, brown sugar and toasty notes with a nice mouthfeel.

The charring process caramelizes the wood sugars in the oak and when soaked on spirits provides rich colour, smooth texture, and sweet notes within 10 days. The extra surface area of the chips intensives the flavour and colour and reduces the soaking time.

This not only enhances the sensory experience of the spirit but also contributes to a smoother texture and textured mouthfeel.

Our AHB Bourbon Chips are imported directly from the USA and made from premium American Oak. 

We've taken an innovative approach creating a specific mix of raw and toasted oak chips to achieve the perfect American Oak blend. This blend balances the robust, complex flavours imparted by the toast with the more subtle, woody notes from the seasoned oak, creating a unique profile that enhances the spirits quickly and efficiently. An excellent solution for craft distillers looking to mimic the effects of barrel aging without the extended time required.
