Oak tree tannins are polyphenolic compounds found in the bark, leaves, and acorns of oak trees. These tannins contribute to the astringency and bitterness of certain foods and beverages, particularly in wine and whiskey, where they influence flavor, mouthfeel, and aging potential. They also play a role in the tree's defense mechanisms against pests and pathogens. Additionally, oak tannins are used in various industries, including leather production and dyeing.
