XtraChêne XOakers are oak spheres that are perfect for restoring the aromatic and gustative properties of a neutral barrel.
They are ideal when seeking to combine different oak origins (French or American), and toast levels (Medium or Medium Plus), in the same barrel. Easy-to-use, Xoakers are added to the barrel through the bunghole, and then rolled back out during barrel washing
