The Twin Oak Custom Barrel programme uses a barrel design that replaces the straight staves with grooved, wave-form staves, dramatically increasing the internal surface area without increasing the barrel size. More oak surface contact per litre of spirit produces faster and more intensive wood character development. The result is described as both very old and very rare in flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, vanilla, and oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and complex with hints of spice, toasted oak, and a touch of sweetness from the increased grooved stave surface area contact\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warm, and satisfying\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jefferson’s Bourbon, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom wave barrel with flash-charred, toasted grooved staves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow do grooved staves increase bourbon character?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wave-form grooved staves increase the internal surface area of the barrel significantly compared to standard flat staves.
