Charred to Perfection: How Bourbon Barrels Shape Flavor
In this episode Stephen and Michael dive into the cooperage process and explain why bourbon barrels are toasted and charred, how char acts like a charcoal filter, and why U.S. law requires new charred oak for bourbon. They cover char levels (including the popular level 4 "alligator" char), flavor contributions from toasting, and examples from well-known distilleries.
The hosts also chat about creative reuses of spent barrels for smoking and decor, tasting anecdotes, and lighter conversation about cocktails, cooking, and upcoming episode topics.
