Creating Redbreast - Sherry Barrel v Bourbon Barrel

Here, Billy Leighton takes a look at the different influences sherry butts and ex-bourbon barrels have on our whiskey as it matures.

Wow! I am so impressed with your crystal clear explanation of Redbreast Wood policy which took you just 1:31 minutes. So, just to be absolutely clear, your Spanish Sherry casks are all specially ordered from Spain to be made from Quercus Robur Oak wood rather than the majority of European Sherry casks, which are actually made in the cooperages in Spain from Quercus Alba (the same type Oak as the Standard American Barrel) but grown in Europe (or imported from the US). Your description of Dried Fruit, Raisins, Prunes and Fruitcake is excellent. Obviously these flavours are coming from the toasted oak of the First-Fill Sherry casks whose pores have been impregnated with sherry.?

God i would love one of those barrels to put me corn water into😁

Can you reuse the casks or is it a once off thing?
