Eine Holzfasslagerung wird nicht nur zum Ausbau von Wein, sondern auch für Spirituosen verwendet. Eine besondere Bedeutung spielt die Holzfasslagerung bei der Reifung von A wooden barrel storage is used not only for the expansion of wine, but also for spirits. Of particular importance is the wood barrel storage during the maturation of

Hierbei dringt der Alkohol mit den Jahren immer tiefer in das Holz ein und kann dabei immer unterschiedlichere Geschmacksnoten entwickeln, je nach Dauer der Lagerung. Maturing process, the alcohol absorbs the flavors from the wood, which gives it the characteristic taste. Over the years, the alcohol penetrates ever deeper into the wood and can always develop more varied tastes, depending on the duration of storage.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt darin, die Oberflächen der Fassinnenseiten mechanisch durch fräsen, sägen, bohren, lasem, sandstrahlen, wasserschneiden oder anderweitig so zu verändern das zum einen eine grössere Holzfläche zur Verfügung steht und zum anderen, der Alkohol früher in tiefere Holzschichten gelangt. Es kann so der The object of the present invention is mechanically by milling, sawing, drilling, lasem, sandblasting, water cutting or otherwise to change the surfaces of the barrel inner sides so that on the one hand a larger wooden surface is available and on the other hand, the alcohol gets earlier in deeper layers of wood , It can be so

Durch diese Aromen ist es möglich, einem alkoholischen Getränk verschiedene Geschmacksnoten zu verleihen. Die innerste Lage ist dabei diejenige, welche direkten Kontakt zur Flüssigkeit hat. composite wood parts, which may have different flavors, which have penetrated by previous storage of other alcoholic beverages in the wood. These aromas make it possible to give different flavors to an alcoholic beverage. The innermost layer is the one which has direct contact with the liquid.
Im erfindungsgemässen Behälter werden die Holzteile der innersten Lage mechanisch so verändert das sich eine erweiterte Oberfläche ergibt. Und das alkoholische Getränk tiefer und schneller in verschiedene Holzschichten vordringen kann. (Zeichnungen 1 - 6) In the inventive container, the wood parts of the innermost layer are mechanically changed so that there is an extended surface. And the alcoholic beverage can penetrate deeper and faster into different layers of wood. (Drawings 1 - 6)
Als alkoholisches Getränk im Sinne der Anmeldung, wird eine Flüssigkeit verstanden, welche für den Verzehr hergestellt wird und einen Alkoholgehalt von mehr als 0,5 % aufweist.
