APPLE BRANDY BARRELS

At OAKBARRELS.SHOP, we offer an exclusive selection of alternative used oak barrels, previously seasoned with high-quality apple brandy from France. These barrels are a first-rate alternative to traditional Calvados casks and open up exciting new possibilities for the barrel aging of spirits, beer, and wine.

APPLE BRANDY – A REFINED ALTERNATIVE TO CALVADOS
While Calvados is widely known, exceptional apple brandies are also distilled outside of Normandy, often protected by regional designations. These small-batch brandies are less commercialized but equal in quality and complexity. Aged in select French oak barrels, they enrich the wood with layers of fruit-forward, sweet-spicy, and floral notes, making the barrels a treasure for creative maturation.

HAND-SELECTED FOR QUALITY & AROMATIC POTENTIAL
Our used apple brandy barrels are sourced directly from artisan French distilleries, with whom we maintain long-standing partnerships. Every barrel undergoes strict quality control by our expert team of master coopers before being added to our catalog.

We ensure:

I Hygienic interior and exterior condition

This rigorous selection process guarantees a pre-seasoned used barrel with true aging potential and character.

DISTINCTIVE FLAVOR PROFILES FOR SPIRITS, BEER & BEYOND
