These 225-liter Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry barrels represent concentrated sweetness, maturity, and outstanding aromatic depth. The casks were seasoned with Pedro Ximénez sherry for approximately 10 years, during which time they developed an intense, stable, and well-balanced barrel profile.

Pedro Ximénez is produced from overripe, highly sugar-rich grapes and matured oxidatively. This extended aging process gives the sherry remarkable density and complexity, which becomes deeply embedded in the oak. As a result, these barrels display a highly expressive aromatic profile dominated by dark fruit preserves, raisins, figs, and dates, complemented by cocoa, dark chocolate, caramel, molasses, and a warm, lingering sweetness.

Maturation takes place in American oak sherry casks, whose wood imparts a soft, velvety oak character over the long aging period. Subtle vanilla notes, gentle toast, and rounded oak spice provide structure and balance without overwhelming the inherent sweetness. The classic 225-liter barrel size allows for noticeable yet well-controlled aroma transfer, making these casks ideal for a wide range of maturation and finishing concepts.

After being emptied, the barrels are carefully inspected, refurbished, and prepared for re-use at Casknolia. Particular attention is paid to wood quality, tightness, and sensory performance to ensure consistent and reliable results in subsequent aging.

These 225-liter PX sherry barrels are perfectly suited for the storage and maturation of premium spirits such as whisky, rum, and brandy. Barrel-aged beers and ciders also benefit from the deep sweetness, dark fruit character, and silky texture imparted by these casks. They are especially well suited for finishes with a clear sweet-wine signature and strong recognition value.

These approximately 10-year-old Pedro Ximénez sherry barrels are the ideal choice for producers seeking a mature sweet-wine cask with intense aromatics, balanced oak integration, and versatile applications for spirits, beers, and cider - dense, harmonious, and sensorily enduring.
