Infusion Spiral^®

A twist

ON TRADITION

Many award-winning wines, beers, and spirits you’ve come to love share one secret ingredient: The Barrel Mill Infusion Spiral®. Our spirals act as a barrel alternative for fast flavor extraction and refined, integrated results. Designed, patented, and manufactured in the USA.

SPIRITS

BEER

WINE

First introduced in 2004, The Barrel Mill Infusion Spiral® was created as a smarter, faster, more efficient way to give new barrel-quality flavor to wine, beer, spirit, and cider – all at a reduced cost and timeframe.

The result is arguably the most barrel-like flavor of any adjunct on the market. The key to the perfect spiral is dual grain exposure of cross grain and parallel grain. Together, they speed up the submersion and extraction of flavor and aroma compounds, giving your beverage a new flavor impact in weeks.

While Infusion Spirals started out as an adventure with oak for winemakers, we have expanded our offerings to include exotic woods. If finishing is your jam, we carry a variety of species, including Amburana, Mizunara, Spanish Cedar, and more.
