200L Full Oak Barrel With 18mm Wall Thickness and Medium Toast for Whiskey
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, a trusted manufacturer since 1998, proudly presents our premium 200L Full Oak Barrel with 18mm Wall Thickness and Medium Toast — specifically crafted for whiskey aging. With over two decades of experience in wood processing and metal fabrication, we combine traditional cooperage techniques with modern quality control to deliver barrels that enhance the character and complexity of your spirits. Our annual export value of US$5-10 million reflects the trust of global buyers across North America, South America, Europe, and beyond. This barrel is designed to be the vessel of choice for distilleries seeking consistent, high-quality oak influence.
Our 200L oak barrel is built from carefully selected, kiln-dried American white oak or European oak (optional), with a uniform 18mm wall thickness that provides optimal insulation and controlled oxygen exchange. The medium toast level (approximately 35-45 minutes at 200°C) develops rich vanilla, caramel, and spice notes without overpowering the spirit. Each barrel undergoes a rigorous leak-testing process and is shipped with a reusable silicone bung for easy sealing.

Advantages for Your Whiskey
1. Optimal Oak Expression: The medium toast level unlocks a synergy of lactones (coconut), vanillin, and toasted wood sugars, giving your whiskey a smooth, sweet profile with subtle spice. The 18mm wall thickness prevents over-oaking while allowing enough oxygen ingress to mellow harsh alcohols.
2. Durability & Leak Resistance: Our barrels are constructed with precision tongue-and-groove joints and heat-bent staves. Each barrel is pressure-tested with hot water to ensure no leaks. The thick walls also reduce the risk of cracking during temperature fluctuations.
3. Customizable to Your Needs: We offer options for different wood species (American vs. European oak), toasting levels (light, medium, heavy), hoop finishes, and even branding laser-engraved on the head. Minimum order quantities are flexible for small craft distilleries.
With our factory located in Hengshui, Hebei, we have direct access to high-quality oak from domestic and imported sources. We ship via major ports including Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, and Foshan, with efficient logistics to deliver to your door. Our team of experienced coopers ensures each barrel meets the stringent standards expected by professional distillers. Many of our clients in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia have used our barrels for award-winning whiskeys, bourbons, and rums.
