| | charred | Explanation:
Barrels
When the barrels are formed, the staves are heated to help them bend, and the heat caramelizes some of the wood sugars and tannins within each stave. This toasting stage of coopering forms the red layer, which not only helps give color to the whiskey, but also imparts some extra flavors. After the barrels are formed, their interiors are then charred over open flame creating a layer of charcoal over the red layer

Surprisingly, the flavor of Loch Dhu is actually quite light! The color is a product of charring the casks, Unfortunately, the charcoal ends up masking the subtleties and nuances of both nose and palate and you are left with a rather bland experience
