North Mountain Supply AMTC 4oz American Oak Cubes — Medium Toast

Premium oak character for stainless steel aging

North Mountain Supply AMTC-4oz American Oak Cubes in Medium Toast are designed for winemakers and beverage creators who age in stainless steel tanks. These 4-ounce cubes can float freely in the liquid or be tied down to suit your workflow, and are best used after fermentation to introduce nuanced oak influence without traditional barrel aging.

American Medium Toast delivers a balanced, approachable toasted oak profile. Expect aromas of vanilla, caramel, chocolate, hazelnut, oatmeal with honey, and graham cracker, complimented by a touch of coconut and clove. In the mouth, the effect tends to add sweetness, creaminess, and roundness, with a lingering, non-aggressive toast character.
