About this listToasted oak
A toasted oak cask is heated on the inside with a long, gentle heat instead of a short burst of flame: Drinks International puts it at around 20 minutes of toasting against 20 seconds of charring, and Woodford Reserve's Elizabeth McCall told VinePair they toast for about 10 minutes at about 550 degrees. US rules require bourbon and rye whisky to go into charred new oak barrels (27 CFR 5.143), so American toasted releases on this list usually use the toasted barrel for a second, finishing period. Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon, first introduced in the fall of 2014, takes Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon and ages it again in a barrel made from 18-month air-dried wood that is toasted but not charred. Under the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009, Scotch must be matured only in oak casks of no more than 700 litres, a rule that sets the wood and size but says nothing about toasting or charring. When collecting these releases, check whether the label's toasted claim covers the whole maturation or only a finish.
