Englishveg- Even more than the fact that the sherry casks were “used many times”, after they are used for sherry these casks are completely taken apart. After they are power washed, they are put back together, and then used for aging scotch. The sherry reacts with the wood to decompose it into a sugar (not entirely sure how this part works), and this sugar flavor –NOT the sherry flavor– is why these barrels are used for sctoch. Due to all of this put together, my Rav holds that sherry casks are not an issue.
