BRANDY BARRELS

The art of brandy production in Spain is rooted in centuries of tradition and excellence. At the heart of it all lies Jerez de la Frontera, widely regarded as the capital of Spanish brandy. Approximately 90% of all Spanish brandy producers are located within close proximity of this historic Andalusian city. From here, we source our premium brandy casks, known for their distinctive aroma profiles shaped by decades of craftsmanship and ideal aging conditions.

ORIGIN: JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA – THE HEART OF SPANISH BRANDY
The region around Jerez offers a unique microclimate that provides optimal aging conditions for both Sherry and Brandy. The combination of ancient distillation traditions and modern production techniques makes Jerez brandy barrels highly sought-after for maturing other fine spirits like whisky, rum, or gin.

THE DISTILLATION PROCESS: HOLANDAS AND DESTILADOS
What sets Spanish brandy apart from other grape-based spirits is its distinct two-part distillation process. Instead of relying on a single distillate, two very different components are used:

I Holandas: These low-strength, aroma-rich distillates (60–65% ABV) form the flavorful backbone of Spanish brandy. They are slowly distilled to preserve the wine’s natural characteristics.

I Destilados: These are higher-proof, more neutral distillates (84–86% ABV) that add balance, structure, and refinement. When blended with Holandas, they contribute to a smoother, rounder spirit.

Together, Holandas and Destilados create a layered, aromatic profile that infuses the brandy casks with notes of soft vanilla, caramelized fruits, and subtle oak.


FRENCH OAK MEETS SPANISH AROMATIC COMPLEXITY
Our brandy barrels originate in Spain but are aged in French oak, combining the best of both traditions. The fine grain of French oak brings elegance, depth, and gentle tannins, while the Spanish brandy seasoning imparts rich, warm, and fruity flavors.

These barrels are especially popular for whisky finishing, offering complexity and a deep, multi-dimensional flavor profile. Rum, gin, and other premium spirits also benefit greatly from the sophisticated aromatic layering these barrels provide.

Whether you prefer Spanish brandy, French Cognac, or the lesser-known but equally bold Armagnac is, as with many fine spirits, simply a matter of taste. Each of these iconic distillates represents a centuries-old tradition shaped by regional ingredients, distinct production methods, and—most importantly—cask aging.

INDUSTRY EXPERTS CHOOSE VARIETY IN CASK SELECTION
As a trusted supplier of premium pre-seasoned oak barrels, we offer a handpicked selection of casks from all three spirit regions: brandy barrels from Spain, Cognac casks from the Charente, and Armagnac barrels from Gascony. Each type provides a unique flavor profile, making them ideal for aging and finishing whisky, rum, gin, and other high-end spirits.

COGNAC CASKS – CLASSICS FROM THE CHARENTE REGION
Our Cognac barrels come from renowned French distilleries and offer delicate notes of vanilla, oak, and floral undertones. Aged in high-quality Limousin or Tronçais oak, these barrels develop a well-balanced aroma profile, making them particularly prized for whisky finishing projects.

ARMAGNAC CASKS – THE HIDDEN GEMS OF GASCONY
Less famous but no less fascinating, our Armagnac casks hail from the heart of southwest France. Often called the "original brother" of Cognac, Armagnac is traditionally produced in small batches and aged over long periods. The resulting barrels are rich in complexity, spice, and fruitiness—perfect for innovative cask aging concepts.

BRANDY CASKS – SUNNY FLAVORS FROM SPAIN
Our brandy barrels from Spain, especially those from Jerez de la Frontera, are known for their warm, sweet notes of caramel, dried fruits, and toasted oak. These barrels offer a rich foundation for darker spirits and lend a distinct Mediterranean depth to the final product.

OUR VERDICT: FLAVOR COMES FROM VARIETY
Whether you lean toward the elegant complexity of Cognac, the spicy richness of Armagnac, or the fruity warmth of Spanish brandy, we have the right cask to match your aging vision. Take advantage of our expertise and our direct access to producers in France and Spain.
