Frequently Asked Questions

What are stone-spun and lightly re-toasted casks?

Stone-spun casks are treated with a surface process that alters the interior wood surface before re-toasting. The lightly re-toasted cask creates new caramelised sugar and wood compound layers from the re-applied heat, adding a smoky richness and toasted oak dimension without the aggressive extraction of heavy charring.
