These Cream Sherry barrels from Andalusia combine depth, sweetness, and elegance and are among the most versatile sweet wine casks for expressive maturation projects. The barrels are crafted at the renowned cooperage Tonelería del Sur and are then deliberately seasoned with Cream Sherry in nearby bodegas for 12 to 18 months. They are available in sizes of 40, 50, 64, and 130 liters, offering flexible options for different aging concepts.
Cream Sherry is created by blending oxidatively aged sherries - primarily Oloroso - with Pedro Ximénez. As a result, it combines the nutty, spicy depth of oxidative sherries with the opulent sweetness and dark fruit character of PX. This harmonious balance becomes deeply embedded in the barrel wood and makes Cream Sherry casks exceptionally versatile in use.
During seasoning, the barrels develop a dense yet harmonious aromatic profile with notes of hazelnut, walnut, and caramel, complemented by raisins, figs, dark honey, and molasses. The American oak used enhances this profile with vanilla and toasted notes as well as a warm, rounded oak spice, elegantly uniting sweetness and structure.
The different barrel sizes allow precise control over maturation dynamics:
40–50 liters – very fast, intense aroma transfer; ideal for short finishes
64 liters – a balanced option combining intensity and control
130 liters – calmer, more even aging with greater depth and integration
After seasoning, the barrels are freshly emptied, carefully inspected, and professionally prepared for re-use. Condition, tightness, and sensory performance meet the highest professional standards.
These Cream Sherry barrels are perfectly suited for the storage and aging of a wide range of spirits such as whisky, rum, and brandy. Barrel-aged beers and ciders also benefit from the balanced sweetness, nutty depth, and warm oak integration these casks impart. They are an excellent choice for harmonious, approachable maturation concepts with broad appeal.
These Cream Sherry–seasoned sweet wine barrels made from American oak are ideal for producers seeking a compact, versatile cask with a clear balance of sweetness and spice and flexible applications for spirits, beers, and cider - round, accessible, and sensorily convincing.
