These small-format Amontillado sherry barrels with capacities ranging from 40 to 130 liters are ideal for aging projects where intensity, precision, and rapid aroma transfer are key objectives. We source these pre-filled and continuously freshly emptied barrels directly from our exclusive partner Casknolia in Andalusia.

The barrels are newly built at the cooperage Tonelería del Sur and then specifically seasoned with Amontillado sherry. They are explicitly not rebuilt or reconditioned casks, but original, newly manufactured premium barrels designed from the outset for high-quality re-filling and professional reuse.

Amontillado sherry is defined by its two-stage aging process: the wine first matures under a layer of flor yeast before undergoing oxidative aging. This combination gives the barrel wood exceptional stability and aromatic depth. Typical characteristics include a golden to amber-brown color and pronounced nutty aromas - especially hazelnut - complemented by refined oak notes, dry spice, and a clean, elegant structure.

Thanks to the small barrel volume, these 40 - 130 liter Amontillado barrels offer a high ratio of wood surface area to liquid content. This enables particularly efficient and controlled aroma transfer, making them ideal for the storage and maturation of a wide range of spirits such as whisky, rum, and brandy. Beer styles and cider also benefit from the dry nuttiness, structured barrel influence, and rapid sensory development these casks provide.

All barrels are freshly emptied, carefully inspected, and professionally prepared to ensure consistently high quality and optimal performance during re-filling.

These small-format Amontillado sherry barrels from Andalusia are the perfect choice for producers seeking a new premium cask with dry, nut-driven aromatics, fast reaction time, and versatile applications for spirits, beers, and cider - precise, efficient, and highly effective from a sensory perspective.
