Embodiment 1

[0133] Embodiment 1 (comparison)

[0134] A first set of 98 empty used American Standard white oak barrels were each overpacked (ie: "bagged") with an end-seal bag made of clear heat-shrinkable No. 1 film as described below. Each barrel has a length of 100 cm and a maximum diameter of 55 cm. The bag placed over each bucket was an end seal bag with a lay width of 115 cm and a length of 200 cm. Each empty drum was packaged by placing the drum upright with the open end of the end seal bag dropped over the vertical drum until the end seal contacted the top of the drum. The bucket is then turned upside down while the bag remains around the circumference of the bucket.

[0135] After inverting the bucket 180 degrees, ie with the other end up, pull up the open end of the bag and the excess bag length collects together over the upper end of the bucket. Apply pressure sensitive packing tape (equal to or similar to 3750 Commercial Performance Packaging Tape) is immediately wrapped ...

Embodiment 2

[0151] Embodiment 2 (comparison)

[0152] A set of 10 used American Standard used white oak barrels, each barrel having a volume of 53 gallons, was filled with the wort from the maceration tank. The barrel itself was the same as that used in Example 1. Each pail was "double bagged" by first bagging it in a bag made of clear heat-shrinkable clear No. 1 film (described above), the same bag used in Example 1 . The resulting bagged pail was rebagged by placing a second bag made of clear Film No. 2 over the pail and the bag made of Film No. 1 (i.e., an "overbagged bag" or "double Bagging").

[0153] After placing the two bags over the bucket, the open ends of the two bags are pulled upward and the excess bag length collects together over the upper end of the bucket. As with the bagged drum of Example 1, pressure sensitive packaging tape is wrapped around the excess bag length collected immediately over the upper end of the drum, thereby enclosing the drum in the first bag while ...

Abstract

Aging of alcoholic beverages in wooden barrels after covering them with a film having a film of at least 50 cc / m 2 Oxygen transmission rate per day and less than 30 g / m 2 / day ethanol permeation rate. The beverage acquires one or more specific aroma components in an amount of 50% relative to the amount of one or more of the same aroma components in a control alcoholic beverage aged in a wooden barrel without a film covering it %, 75% or 100%. Covering the barrel with the film reduces angel share evaporative losses while allowing the beverage to develop the desired flavor components during aging. In another embodiment, the method reduces angel share evaporative losses while achieving an organoleptic indistinguishable from a control.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to provisional applications USSN 61 / 847,803 (filed July 18, 2013) and USSN 61 / 861,563 (filed August 2, 2013), each of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this application in its entirety. Background technique [0002] The present invention relates to barrel aging of alcoholic beverages such as distilled spirits, wine and beer. During a typical barrel-aging process for distilled spirits derived from grain and other agricultural sources, 2-50% by weight or more of distilled ethanol and water in the mixture are passed The barrel assembly diffuses and then evaporates into the surrounding atmosphere. Diffusion and evaporation continue throughout the aging period, which can range from weeks or months to 20 years or more. The degree of evaporation depends on the initial alcohol content of the distillate, the duration of aging in wooden barrels, relative humidity, ambient temperature, etc. The distilled spirits industry defines this...
