Unleash the boldness of Shiraz and Cabernet

Craft whisky with a richly flavoured red wine finish

NEBB Red wine oak barrels are freshly emptied from Australia’s finest Shiraz and Cabernet wines to impart a rich, robust flavour profile to your whisky.

Ideal for distilleries looking to craft a bold and unique flavour, NEBB Red wine oak barrels are perfect for producing whisky with a rich, fruit-forward character.

These freshly emptied wine barrels will infuse your spirit with deep notes of dark berries, ripe plums, and subtle hints of chocolate, all enveloped in a smooth, velvety texture. The vibrant essence of the wine, still present in the oak, adds layers of complexity and depth, creating a distinctive red wine finish that elevates your whisky to new heights.

Whether you’re aiming to create a limited-edition release or add a signature touch to your regular offerings, our barrels ensure that each batch of whisky carries the unmistakable influence of Australia’s renowned wine regions.

By choosing NEBB Red, you’re not just adding flavour – you’re enhancing the entire whisky experience with the depth and richness that only these exceptional barrels can provide.

Process, provenance and quality

From vineyard to distillery, sourced and inspected with care

NEBB Red wine oak barrels are carefully sourced from top wineries across South Australia and Victoria, where they have been used for 5 to 10 years to age premium Shiraz and Cabernet wines.

After freshly emptying the wine barrels, we immediately prepare them for whisky aging. Our process ensures the vibrant wine-soaked characteristics are preserved and ready to enhance your whisky’s maturation process.

We follow a rigorous inspection process to guarantee that each barrel is:

  • carefully sourced to impart bold red wine flavours

  • structurally sound for long-term aging

  • free from defects and crafted with excellence

  • fully compliant with industry regulations

The barrels are meticulously tracked for provenance, providing complete transparency about their origin and history. This commitment to visibility ensures distilleries can trust the quality and authenticity of our barrels.

Our careful process means that each barrel meets the highest standards of quality for premium whisky production.

Shiraz – Black fruit, chocolate and smoky notes of tobacco.
