The American oak has aromatic sweetness and a campfire/roasted coffee attribute present in all three toast levels, with Medium and Heavy having the highest intensity. American oak had cooked fruit more than fresh or jammy and imparted mouth feel/fullness, especially in Medium Toast. |
The French oak is characterized by a fruity, cinnamon/allspice character. As the toast levels increased the fruity descriptor changed from fresh to jammy to cooked fruit/raisin in character. The French oak was also characterized by custard/ creme brulee, milk chocolate and campfire/roasted coffee notes, especially the latter descriptor at higher toast levels. |
