EDER - FassStolz® 228 l chestnut

Product information "EDER - FassStolz® 228 l chestnut"

It was the Romans who probably brought us the sweet chestnut from the Caucasus. In the meantime, the warmth-loving tree has become native to southern Germany and especially to the Palatinate Forest.

Heat-loving in this context does not mean dry-loving!

Our wood for our barrel series "Eder FassStolz Kastanie" comes from one of the most beautiful and best areas in Germany for the sweet chestnut, the Wasgau near the Trifels Castle in the heart of the Palatinate Forest!
Year after year, with the end of the vegetation phase from October, November onwards, we work together with the foresters to select some of these trees, sometimes several hundred years old, under the aspect of sustainability and climate protection, in order to produce particularly valuable wine and distillate barrels from them.

By the way, the chestnut was the tree of the year 2018!
The fruit of the trees is also used in culinary delights, whether in soup, bread or in some game dishes!

The chestnut gives a full, round aroma without, however, bringing the sometimes too many tannins of the oak noticeably on the tongue. Especially in distillates one tastes the depth, the forest and the fruit of the chestnut paired with honey notes. The chestnut gives a strong golden yellow color to the distillate.
For strong structured red wines the chestnut barrel offers a great maturity as well as a round sweetness. We recommend the chestnut barrels especially in the toasting stages Medium to Forte!

The barrel is equipped with a silicone bung as standard.

EDER - FassStolz® 30 l - 112 l - Kaiserfass - kiri wood
Liter: 30 l
The barrel is produced out of kiri wood in our cooperage.Kiri wood is a highly aromatic wood with considerable cellulose and lignin content.Paired with heat-reduced toast, this ensures a significant splitting of the sugar molecules on the surface of the wood while at the same time preventing guaiacol smoke aromas.The result are wooden barrels that offer strong flavours in the form of sweetness, vanilla and fruit when matured with distillates, wines or beers.Our production of kiri wood barrels is another one of our innovative ideas.  Widely unknown, the kiri is a cherry tree originating from Asia and is the fastest growing tree in the world. German innovation companies are now also planting this special tree under optimal growth conditions. Growing up to 5 metres per year, the kiri tree produces wood at 10 times the rate of oak. Although the production of kiri barrels is still in its very early stages, they could in the future be a complement to barrels made from more widely known woods.The wood comes from sustainable cultivation and is both air and kiln dried.Toasting: MediumHoops: hot dip galvanisedThe barrel is equipped with a silicone bung as standard.Experimental barrel: Please check your barrel regularly for any leaks.

EDER - FassStolz® Cherry barrel 225 l
Made from wild cherry tree trunks of the bird cherry Prunus Avium. The barrels are fitted with hot-dip galvanized hoops, lightly toasted on the inside. Cherry is still the distiller’s most favorable taste. And that not only because of the fruit’s fertility but also because it is an inherent part of the culinary culture of Southern Germany and Switzerland. Since 150 years, the particular climatic conditions there and the soil conditions that the cherry trees need to enforce the fruit’s most aromatic evolvement have been and are still appreciated. The sweet cherry has not for nothing been named tree of the year 2010. It is a stone fruit and belongs to the rose family. The “kirsch” is characterized by its complex taste that takes long at its end as well as the decent and subtle flavor. Initiates describe the favor during tastings often as fleshy, fruity, chocolate, sourly aromatic, juicy, lusty or nuttily aromatic. The most crucial point for the distillers is, however, also the question if “stonetone”, i. e. an almond or marchpane flavor is desired. The question if this flavor or homogenous kirsch with a discrete fruit nature should be pursued is highly discussed. Thankfully one should say. Cause: As is generally known, tastes are different.  Note: Cherry wood in the area of distillate is not always easy to process, this requires the growth forms of the cherry tree.To support the tightness, we paint the small cherry wooden barrels just like our large barrels with a breathable, water-soluble lacquer, which meets all certification requirements in the food industry and barrel construction!

Oak barrel 250 l Mizunara Oak
These barrels made of Japanese oak are suitable for a long storage of distillates. The Japanese oak, or Mizunara oak (Quercus Crispula), shows some peculiarities when compared to its European or American relatives: It very rarely grows straight, but almost always has a twist, which makes it very difficult for the cooper to build a barrel from this wood. The aromas that this wood gives off are very intense, especially in the beginning. The fine aromas develop only after a longer storage. But then it shows a unique sweet and spicy taste profile, which is due to the lactone ratio and the high vanilla content of the oak. Aromas that come from the Mizunara Oak are Kara (a kind of oriental incense), sandalwood and coconut. Volume: 250 l Origin of wood: Japan Barrel hoops: hot-dip galvanised Learn what is special about this barrel wood in our blog post.
