World Cooperage - American white oak barrels
In 1912 World Cooperage was founded and has produced oak barrels ever since from American white oak. It still offers the same high quality claims like its founder T. W. Boswell started four generations ago.
The Boswell family owns and manages today five saw works in France and Bulgaria and fifteen central wood procurement places situated in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas and Kentucky. The cooperage operates two company sites. Whereas the cooperages in Lebanon and Missouri concentrate upon the production and toasting of barrels from American, French and East European oak and sell these barrels worldwide.
The recent development in its barrel range is the “T. W. Boswell“ line. It brings the flavors „ of the old world“ in the wines.
The barrels of World Cooperage bring to a very good price-performance ratio, a lot of flavoring, paired with toasting and sweetish character into the wines. In consideration of the fact that some wines do not jar with new wood, World Cooperage offers a varied program in wood alternative products which she likewise produces from the best raw materials.
As established saw work-operators in the Middle West and France, World Cooperage pays great importance to the fact that for the wine cask production only the slowly grown, fine pored wood is used. The chiller climate in the Middle West causes a slower growth and with it combined, as a result, a fine pored wood. Generally one can say that a slowly grown tree is richer in extract.
