Can I expect possible off flavors from a ReCoop barrel?
No. Unlike traditional barrel shavers, the ReCoop process planes 6-7 mm (1/4 inch) from the inside of the barrel and heads, cures the wood to remove all the trapped ethanol and properly toasts the barrel. This not only removes the wine penetrated wood in a neutral barrel but also ensures that no ethanol affected wood is toasted – the culprit of many off-flavors.
