These 250-liter Pedro Ximénez sherry barrels represent maximum aromatic depth, sweetness, and complexity and rank among the most intense sweet wine casks available for demanding maturation projects. Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry is produced from overripe, partially sun-dried grapes and matured oxidatively. This process creates its exceptionally dense and full-bodied character, which becomes deeply embedded in the barrel wood.

During long-term maturation, these barrels develop an extremely layered aromatic profile. Dominant notes include raisins, figs, and dark fruit preserves, complemented by chocolate, cocoa, molasses, and caramelized sugars. This lush sweetness is supported by a warm, rounded structure that gives PX barrels their distinctive depth and elegance.

Pedro Ximénez is traditionally matured in American oak barrels, which contribute a soft, velvety oak influence during aging. Subtle vanilla, gentle toast, and mild oak spice provide balance and prevent the sweetness from becoming overpowering. In the classic 250-liter barrel size, the result is an ideal balance between aromatic intensity and control - perfect for a wide range of maturation concepts.

As an exclusive partner of Tonelería del Sur, we ensure that these PX sherry barrels meet the highest quality standards. After being freshly emptied, each cask is carefully inspected, professionally prepared, and optimized for re-use. Origin, condition, and sensory performance are fully traceable at all times.

These 250-liter Pedro Ximénez sherry casks are ideally suited for the storage and aging of premium spirits such as whisky, rum, and brandy. Barrel-aged beers and ciders also benefit from the intense sweetness, dark fruit character, and silky depth imparted by these barrels. They are particularly well suited for finishes with a clear sweet-wine signature and strong recognition value.

These PX sherry barrels made from American oak are the perfect choice for producers seeking a classic, intensively seasoned sweet wine cask with controlled aromatic power and versatile applications for spirits, beers, and cider - opulent, complex, and sensorily exceptional.
