Nothing goes more hand in hand than whisky and Sherry casks. It has been the most significant duo for hundreds of years. We offer many types of Sherry casks for your distillery. We ship them worldwide in perfect conditions under our guarantee seal.

It's important to understand the huge difference between old Solera Sherry casks and the new industrial "Sherry" casks seasoned for a short period of time(normally 12-18 months) with local wines not fit to become Sherries in the first place. For a wine from Jerez to become a Sherry it must be aged for at least 3 years, but in general those used for the new "Sherry" casks are not fit for consumption, they were downgraded after their fermentation for various reasons to be used for Vinagre de Jerez or to be distilled into brandy. So these new "Sherry" casks will never be able to give the same really interesting flavorful aspect to your spirit as the old Solera Sherry casks, which were actually used for up to 200 years to mature the finest Sherry wines. These rare old Solera Casks are the Rolls-Royce of Sherry casks and mostly reused inside the bodegas to age brandy or Vinagre de Jerez when they have ended their long life of aging the finest Sherries. 

The young wines used today have never been transferred from cask to cask in the solera system to gain strength before the creation of new Sherry casks!

We can simply put this way, if you do not like the wine in the Sherry cask, don't buy the cask as it can do more harm than good to your spirit. Imagine you spend years of aging your whisky in these casks only to be able to write Sherry Cask on your labels, knowing the result is in no way close to the fantastic result from an old original Solera cask.

Yes the old Solera casks are rare and yes they cost more money, because you can't buy time, however in our opinion there is another way around this. You fill new oak casks in Jerez with really good 4-7 year old Sherry wine of your likings and age the casks for 2-3 years in the bodega. This is exactly what Ardgowan is doing, better sherry and longer seasoning than most made-up Sherry casks, read this article:

Let us help you select your favorite Sherry and cask size. Don't waste your money on the thousands of overpriced new "Sherry" casks seasoned with cheap wine available from coopers all over Spain. They are desperately trying to imitate the real Solera casks and you will not know before its too late....., the Sherry casks we offer can be certified by BUREAU VERITAS so you are sure you get what you are paying for.

Our expertise helps you navigate through this. We also offer third party cask inspections of any casks you buy in Spain. That process is done by sending a small camera "snake" also know as endoscop inside the cask to ensure they are real Solera cask and the layers of old wine residue is present, something which are not there unless they have been used in the Solera system for at least 30+ years.
