What makes this EX Sherry so special?

Our Master Distiller Mario Rudolf and his team had the opportunity to visit the unique winery and gain deeper insights into the production and cask selection of the internationally renowned wine.

The extraordinary quality is primarily due to the special soil, the specific climate, and the oak casks in which the Sherry matures. Only the noblest of all Sherry grape varieties – the Pedro Ximénez – is considered for cultivation and is processed there organically and completely traditionally. The grapes are overripe on the vine and then dried (raisined) on the Albariza soil. This gives the Sherry from Ximénez-Spínola a very high sugar content and impresses with its oily, intense, and very complex character.

Significance for our whisky

These characteristics of the sherry wine are imparted due to storage in oak casks. Thus, our whisky stored in them acquires a very pleasant sweetness with a certain spiciness. This subtle sweetness is supported by the taste of fruity dried fruit. The cask is made of American white oak, which gives the whisky a caramel finish with fine vanilla notes.

Ex Sherry - Special Bottling

With our "Distillery Only" – ex Sherry, we already have a great special bottling from an ex-Sherry cask with a mild recipe. This Oloroso Butt is very limited and is strengthened by its fruitiness with sunny, delicious, and seductive notes.

Your own whisky cask

You can also own such or other great and unique casks and accompany the maturation of your own whisky. A partner cooperage exclusively re-builds large casks into 30-liter casks for us, so that they are always individual and unique. The advantage of small casks is that the maturation process is usually 3.5 times faster, giving your whisky a great and full-bodied maturation. These coveted private casks are only available in a strictly limited number.
