Authentic whisky barrel chunks sourced from barrels that have previously aged muscat wine and then aged whisky.

Aged Character Without the Barrel

Elevate your home-distilled spirits with Pure Distilling’s Limited Release Muscat Whisky Barrel Chunks — a 500g pack of authentic, oak staves cut from real Muscat whisky barrels. These chunky cuts have been soaked in fortified wine and spirit, absorbing years of complex, sweet character from Muscat maturation.

Now, you can add that richness directly into your next batch of whisky, rum, or neutral spirit — no barrel required.

Each chunk imparts a smooth, sweet, oaky profile, with notes of dried fruit, toffee, and fortified wine. Designed to simulate long-term aging in a compact, reusable format, they’re perfect for small-batch aging and experimentation.

Maturation protocols:

First Soaking: Add 2.5 litres of spirit to 500g of chunks and allow to soak for 14 days before draining and filtering through unbleached coffee filters. This first soaking will yield the most flavour in the least amount of time.
Second Soaking: Add a further 2.3 litres of spirit and soak for 14-28 days or until the desired flavour and colour is reached. Drain and filter as per first soaking.
Third soaking: Add a further 2.3 litres of spirit and soak for 5-6 weeks or until the desired flavour and colour is reached. Drain and filter as per first soaking.

Alternative protocol: Use 40-100g of barrel chunks per litre of alcohol at 60% ABV and soak until the desired flavour is reached before filtering through unbleached coffee filters and diluting to 38% ABV.
