Our groundbreaking, patented clear coating significantly increases the yield of barrel-aged distilled spirits without compromising the quality or flavor profile.

​

This clear coating is applied to the exterior of the barrel, serving as a protective shield that reduces the "angel's share" and minimizes barrel leaks. While providing vapor protection, it still allows for proper oxygenation, ensuring the spirit retains its desired characteristics throughout the aging process.

MORE SPIRIT

Traditionally, one of the challenges in barrel aging has been the "angel's share" — the portion of the spirit that evaporates or is absorbed by the wood. Our patented coating reduces this loss.

 

By forming a protective barrier, the clear coating minimizes the amount of spirit that permeates the wood, thereby retaining more of the precious liquid.
