These 500-liter Amontillado sherry barrels stand for depth, stability, and an exceptionally precise barrel influence. Amontillado is considered one of the most complex sherry styles and, thanks to its unique aging process, imparts a distinctive sensory signature to the casks - making them ideal for demanding maturation projects.

The character of these barrels is defined by the two-phase aging process of Amontillado sherry. In the first stage, the wine matures under a protective layer of flor yeast, building freshness and structure. This is followed by an oxidative aging phase, during which depth, dryness, and aromatic complexity develop. This combination leaves a lasting imprint on the barrel wood and results in a stable, clearly defined aromatic profile.

Typical characteristics of Amontillado barrels include their golden to amber-brown color and elegant aromas of hazelnut, refined oak, dried fruits, and a subtly spicy, dry finish. The large 500-liter volume allows for slow and even aroma transfer, making these casks particularly well suited for longer aging periods with controlled intensity.

These 500-liter Amontillado sherry barrels are ideally suited for the storage and finishing of premium spirits such as whisky, rum, and brandy. Barrel-aged beers and ciders also benefit from the nutty depth, dry elegance, and structured barrel influence that these large-format casks impart to the aging product.

These premium barrels are carefully selected and supplied in outstanding quality by Casknolia. Each barrel meets the highest standards in terms of condition, prior filling, and sensory performance.

These 500-liter Amontillado sherry barrels are the perfect choice for producers seeking a large-format sherry cask with oxidative depth, nutty aromatics, and versatile applications for spirits, beers, and cider - precise, elegant, and exceptionally consistent.
