Similar to sherry butts but with different wood geometry. Rich dried fruit and spice, with subtle differences due to thicker staves.

소개

A large cask similar in volume to a sherry butt (500L) but shorter and wider in shape. Puncheons are made with thicker staves, which can moderate the rate of flavor extraction. The different geometry means slightly different spirit-wood interaction compared to the taller, narrower butt. Both American and European oak puncheons exist in the whisky industry, each bringing distinct characteristics.
