Bon appétit!
For many adult beverage lovers, one of the key criteria for a favorite drink is how long it was aged and in what type of barrels. Unfortunately, once the beverage leaves the barrel, there is not as much opportunity for further maturation.
Texas-based Oak & Eden has turned beverage finishing inside out by including a spiral-cut barrel stave in each bottle to sustain and enhance the process! Over time, this patented “spire” helps release further complexities and flavors from the spirit.
The menu of Oak & Eden options includes aged bourbons that are finished with American oak or Cabernet-aging French oak, and others with IPA, Scottish Ale, or West Oak Coffee cold brew. They also offer ryes with charred oak spires, spires soaked in Caribbean rum, and even a French oak-aged rye that has been produced with help from the band Jamestown Revival. No matter which you choose and how you take it, you are sure to stick around this rounded stick.
So if you like your beverages well finished, start something new with Oak & Eden and see how pleasantly twisted your favorite drinks can get!
