Spirits Class - Whiskey & Casks: Sherry Edition

As whiskeys aged in second-use casks become more popular and common, many whiskey drinkers may find themselves wondering how those casks really affect the final whiskey? What aromas and flavors should you expect each different cask to impart? To help explore these questions further, we plan to delve deep into the most common second-use casks, tasting both the original product and a whiskey aged in that type of cask to truly understand the flavors different casks impart. 

This class will focus on one of the most common secondary casks - sherry. This Spanish fortified wine comes in a wide variety of styles, from bone-dry fino to rich and subtle amontillado to the ultra-sweet PX. Each style can impart different characteristics into a whiskey, from salty and nutty tones to intense fruity flavors. In this class, you will taste whiskey aged in different types of sherry casks along with examples of the sherries, gaining the chance to truly experience how these casks impact whiskey.
