A new outlook in spirit making:
The dynamic world of spirits production is a field of open experimentation and evolving trends, where tradition meets innovation. This has presented distillers with the need to craft spirits that embrace both. With the extensive time needed for traditional ageing practices, it has been a bit more challenging for distillers to achieve this. While acknowledging these traditional ageing processes and using cutting edge solutions, WLT 150, a liquid oak extract, has been designed as an innovative solution to this challenge. WLT 150 is made with smooth oak-procured phenolics and metabolites to help distillers achieve that oaky character in any spirit with consistent results
The effects of WLT 150
With its versatile adaptability, WLT 150 may be used to complement traditional ageing processes or serve as a standalone oak alternative, giving distillers the freedom of choice when it comes to incorporating it with their own preferred techniques. It enhances spirits with authentic oak characteristics, improving production efficiency, reducing maturation times, and ensuring batch consistency.
Getting the best of both worlds
As research shows the continually changing spirit market demands new trends, it’s important for distillers to deliver innovation while remaining loyal to tradition, something that can be challenging to achieve. As WLT 150 derives itself from original American and French oak wood used to construct barrels, it imparts the sametraditional oaky resolution distillers know, however, delivered in a new light.
“We have been using WLT 150 for a number of years now in our Karoo Agave and could not be more pleased. Not only does WLT 150 provide the smoothening effect that we are after, it is extremely easy to incorporate in the production process. I am yet to find any product that comes even remotely close to how amazing WLT 150 is. I would highly recommend it to all distillers.” Brandon Van Niekerk
