From $9.95
Pure Distilling Bourbon Chips are premium oak chips made from authentic bourbon barrels, allowing home distillers to add rich barrel-aged character to their spirits without the need for traditional cask ageing. Designed to impart the flavours and aromas associated with bourbon maturation, these chips are ideal for enhancing whiskey, bourbon-style spirits, rum, and other oak-aged beverages.
Ageing spirits on oak is one of the most effective ways to improve flavour, colour, and complexity. As a result, Pure Distilling Bourbon Chips provide an easy and affordable solution for recreating the characteristics of barrel-aged spirits at home. The bourbon-soaked oak delivers layers of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and subtle bourbon notes that help create a smoother and more refined finished product.
One of the key benefits of Pure Distilling Bourbon Chips is their versatility. They can be used with neutral spirits, whiskey-style spirits, rum, bourbon flavourings, and a wide range of homemade spirit recipes. Furthermore, they pair exceptionally well with spirit essences, allowing distillers to customise flavour profiles to suit their preferences.
The ageing process is simple. By adding the recommended amount of chips to your spirit and allowing sufficient contact time, the oak gradually imparts flavour and colour while helping soften harsher alcohol notes. Consequently, the finished spirit develops greater depth, complexity, and character.
Whether you’re creating a bourbon-style spirit, enhancing a whiskey essence, or experimenting with custom ageing projects, Pure Distilling Bourbon Chips provide an easy way to achieve authentic oak-aged flavour.
