Unlocking Flavor Potential with the High Proof Series

By Amy LaHue, Oak Solutions Specialist

In the ever-evolving world of bourbon production, innovation and tradition blend seamlessly to create spirits of exceptional quality. A key component of the process is the maturation phase, where the choice of oak, char level, seasoning and toasting play a pivotal role in defining the bourbon's character. Post maturation, distillers also have the option to further enhance character profiles by utilizing barrel alternatives. If you are looking for ideas so your products stand out try the High Proof Series, a collection of barrel alternative products meticulously crafted for the spirits industry, from Oak Solutions Group.

Designed with spirit maturation in mind, the High Proof Series utilizes multiple toasting technologies to achieve a variety of flavors desired in the spirits industry. The series comprises four distinct products, each offering unique flavor contributions:

  • Spice Rack: Crafted to impart a rich array of spice notes, enhancing complexity and depth in the spirit.
  • Sweet Shoppe: Developed to introduce sweet, confectionery flavors, adding a luscious dimension to the bourbon.
  • Rickhouse: Designed to emulate the traditional aging environment, providing balanced oak characteristics reminiscent of classic maturation.
  • Charred Barrel: Aimed at delivering the quintessential charred oak flavors, contributing to a robust and smoky profile.
