These 250-liter Palo Cortado sherry barrels rank among the most complex yet elegant sherry casks available for demanding maturation projects. Palo Cortado uniquely combines the finesse and structure of an Amontillado with the depth and power of an Oloroso and is considered one of the most intriguing sherry styles. This distinctive dual character is clearly reflected in the barrels themselves.

During many years of seasoning, the barrels develop an exceptionally multi-layered aromatic profile. Typical characteristics include nutty notes, subtle oxidative nuances, dried fruits, dark caramel, leather, and refined spice. The very dark color influence of Palo Cortado adds further depth and creates an intense yet perfectly balanced barrel impact.

The barrels are made from American oak, which supports the complex Palo Cortado character exceptionally well. It contributes structure, warmth, and gentle sweetness without masking the dry elegance and oxidative complexity of the sherry. The traditional 250-liter barrel size offers an ideal balance between wood surface and liquid volume, enabling controlled and precisely manageable aroma transfer.

After completion of sherry maturation, the barrels are transported directly from the producing bodegas to the cooperage of Casknolia in Andalusia. There, they are carefully inspected, professionally prepared, and optimized for shipment to ensure consistently high quality and ideal conditions for re-filling.

These 250-liter Palo Cortado sherry barrels are perfectly suited for the storage and finishing of premium spirits such as whisky, rum, and brandy. Barrel-aged beers and ciders also benefit from the remarkable depth, nutty-oxidative complexity, and warm oak integration these casks impart. They are an excellent choice for structured, demanding, and high-end recipes.

These Palo Cortado sherry barrels made from American oak are the ideal solution for producers seeking a highly complex, traditional sherry cask with clear provenance, expressive aromatics, and versatile applications for spirits, beers, and cider - rare, elegant, and sensorially exceptional.
