Liquid oak extract is oak character in dosable liquid form. Instead of holding a beverage against wood and waiting for extraction, the oak compounds are extracted first and added directly to the batch. This gives producers control over how much oak goes in and when they stop.

The influence is immediate on addition and continues to integrate over the next 24 to 48 hours. That means you can taste the effect the same day rather than waiting weeks for chips or months for a barrel.

Yes. Soluble Oak is made from white oak with no artificial flavours, sweeteners, masking agents or additives — the principle the company calls Oak + Nothing. It is a natural extraction process, not a synthetic flavour compound. This tastes authentic because it is authentic.

It can replace barrel aging entirely, or work alongside it. Some producers use it instead of a barrel after fermentation or distillation. Others use it after barrel aging to refine the final profile, or to replenish oak character in barrels that have been depleted of most of the flavors.

Wine, beer, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages. It is added after fermentation and final filtration in wine, and after distillation in spirits, so it requires little or no change to existing equipment or process.

Soluble Oak is sold as a 5-gallon dosing kit for small batches, and in 1-litre and 5-litre volumes for production use. Because dosing is incremental, cost is best compared per dose rather than per bottle — see the Price to Dose guide.

Yes. It is FDA registered, environmentally certified and scales from small craft batches to commercial production runs. It requires little or no infrastructure changes, so it can be introduced into an existing process with no or little capital investment.
