About this listNew oak
New oak matters most on this list because US rules require it for the main American styles. Under the US standards of identity, bourbon must come from a mash of at least 51 percent corn and be stored in charred new oak barrels at 125 proof or less, and rye, wheat and malt whisky follow the same pattern with their own grain. Straight bourbon or straight rye must spend at least two years in those charred new oak barrels, which covers most of the American releases here, such as Blanton's, Booker's, Eagle Rare, Elijah Craig and Michter's 10 Year Rye. Whisky labelled as distilled from bourbon or rye mash is the exception, since it is stored in used oak barrels, and corn whisky may only use used or uncharred new oak. Scotch has no new oak rule: the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009 require only oak casks of no more than 700 litres for at least three years in Scotland, so the Scotch releases on the list, such as Benriach Smoke Season or Talisker Special Release, use new oak by choice.
