Designing Oak Aroma Profiles for Distilled Beverages

The use of oak alternatives, such as oak chips and oak tannins, to create and design the aromatic profile of distilled beverages presents an effective way of optimizing the production process and reduce costs, while maintaining full control over the quality of the final product. Knowing and defining the aromatic impact of oak products on distillates, supplemented with sensory analysis, will help determine the appropriate treatments that lead to the desired final product.
