The toast and char levels of a barrel have a significant impact on the final flavor profile of a spirit. Here are some general suggestions based on different toasting and charring combinations: Light Toast, Char 1: • Gin: A light toast with minimal char is great for gin, which benefits from subtle flavor enhancements that don't overshadow its botanicals. • White Rum: This combination will add a bit of complexity without making the rum too heavy or oaky. • Tequila: This would add a subtle depth to silver tequila-style spirits if you're interested in aging it for a short period. Medium Toast, Char 2: • Bourbon Whiskey: A medium toast with a #2 char provides a balanced profile, adding a touch of caramel and vanilla flavors. • Rye Whiskey: This brings out the spicy notes in rye whiskey while balancing it with some sweeter undertones. • Apple Brandy: This combo complements the fruitiness of the brandy. Medium-Plus Toast, Char 3: • Scotch: A deeper toast and more significant char contribute complexity to Scotch-style whiskies. • Aged Rum: This combo can give the rum more depth and a more balanced profile. • Mezcal: For those interested in aging Mezcal-style spirits, a medium-plus toast and #3 char can add a lot of intrigue without overwhelming the spirit's natural smokiness. Heavy Toast, Char 4: • Dark Rums: A heavy toast with a high char level is excellent for producing a rich, deeply flavored rum. • Bold Bourbons: For a bourbon with robust flavors, a heavy toast and #4 char can bring out dark chocolate, coffee, and smoky notes. • Armagnac: This would add substantial body and complexity to a grape-based spirit. Remember, these are just suggestions, and the actual outcome can vary based on many factors like the original spirit, aging time, and environmental conditions. Feel free to experiment and find what suits your personal taste best!
