Watch Jesse Test Soluble Oak
Jesse tests Soluble Oak in a few different use cases and talks through where it works best: as a finishing, blending, and bench-trial tool rather than a full replacement for traditional maturation.
How To Use It
Start tiny. Test in a glass or sample jar first. Add a little, taste, and adjust.
Suggested starting points for bench trials:
- White or unaged spirit: 4-9 mL per litre
- Forced-aged or young-aged spirit: 2-6 mL per litre
- Multi-year aged spirit: 2-4 mL per litre
These are starting points, not fixed rules. Your spirit, proof, oak profile, and personal taste all matter.
Do not dose an entire batch blind.
What It Is
Soluble Oak is made from oak and is designed to add authentic oak character without non-oak secondary flavors.
With lower dosing, it can help with mouthfeel. With higher dosing, it can add more noticeable oak presence.
Current Availability
Currently available from our USA warehouse only.
New Zealand warehouse availability is coming soon.
Available in 100 mL pouches:
- American Oak - Dark Roast
- French Oak - Mixed Roast
Important Note
Soluble Oak is especially useful as a finishing and experimentation tool, but it does not fully replace real maturation. Barrel aging also changes a spirit through time, oxygenation, esterification, evaporation, and long contact with wood.
