Global barrel supply shortages are driving the rocketing price of barrels with no end in sight.
The idea of paying over $ 3,000 for a 160 gallon barrel in the near future is a scary prospect that will impact profit and sales competition across the industry. Delays in delivery by more than 6 months are driving further chaos in the industry.
Distillers are resorting to using older barrels and extending the life of their barrel fleet to manage production and output, hammering product quality-something few can afford. This means distillers are using barrels for longer, struggling to deliver the same color and smoothness they need to maintain consistency.
“French barrels are the most costly, with prices ranging up to $4000 per cask”
WLT 150 is a tool that works with your barrels in the maturation process of spirits. It is a 100% natural oak extract that complements your barrel and introduces the same characteristics that a first-fill barrel has on spirits in the distilling process.
WLT 150 is made from a natural process that extracts and concentrates the valuable elements from oak wood into a potent liquid.
This product allows oak wood to be up to 50 times more efficient than traditional cask ageing.
Distillers are now able to substantially reduce costs, deliver ageing in older barrels, eliminate supply chain delays, and meet future growth.
There are three variants of WLT 150. Extracts made from 150-year-old French oak, 90-year-old American oak, or a combination of the two. These variants are made to assist distillers both in creating diverse flavor profiles for spirits and assisting with ageing underperforming barrels.
