Problem
Distilleries face significant losses during spirit maturation due to evaporation and barrel leaks, collectively known as the "angel's share." These losses reduce the final bottled yield, impacting profitability and increasing operational costs related to quality control and loss management.
Solution
Devil's Cask offers SpiritLock Technology, a patented exterior coating for barrels that minimizes maturation losses and prevents leaks, leading to a higher yield of bottled spirits. The coating acts as a protective barrier, reducing the "angel's share" by up to 40% and increasing bottled product output by up to 20% without compromising the spirit's flavor profile. This technology improves profitability by reducing spirit loss, minimizing overhead costs associated with loss management, and extending barrel longevity by preventing hoop rust and minimizing splintering. Devil's Cask provides both pre-coated new barrels and the coating itself for application to existing barrels.
Target Audience
The primary customers are distilleries and cooperages seeking to reduce spirit loss during maturation, increase bottled yield, and improve overall profitability.
