Lots of tannids in oak something... no I don't know.
Made from a horse soaked in Scotch?
My guess would be like Veg Tan where they use tree bark. Not a leather guy but thats my guess. Leather - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Tanning is the process of treating skins of animals to produce leather, which is more durable and less susceptible to decomposition. Traditionally, tanning used tannin, an acidic chemical compound from which the tanning process draws its name (tannin is in turn named for an old German word for oak or fir trees, which supplied it). Coloring may occur during tanning. A tannery is the term for a place where the skins are processed."

Take one skin of animal, take one brain of animal and combine the two, rubbing brains thoroughly into skin...Strop on that :)
