Ideal for aging fine spirits
Brume de Quintessence is an innovative way to age the finest spirits, combining our cooper’s savoir-faire with state of the art control systems.
Brume de Quintessence
Brume de Quintessence relies on a controlled water supply during toasting, avoiding direct contact with oak. Thanks to the misting effect, the heat slowly penetrates the oak and is finely diffused throughout.
Our unique misting process creates a humid atmosphere that favours deep extraction of tannins and aromas.
Key Characteristics
- Facilitates the deep extraction of specific aromatic compounds that are often harder to extract with a traditional toast- creates aromatic profiles that enhance the complexity of spirits
- Helps impart a deep and intense colour, depending on the selected toast
- Helps extract cis-whisky lactone, an aromatic compound which contributes to roundness.
- Misting also ensures a perfect balance between sweetness and toasty notes.
