Cask share - a 100 year old sherry cask

A Truly Special Cask

Once again this year, we’ve sourced a few rare 80–100-year-old 500-litre sherry butts. The casks come from Bodegas Delgado in the Montilla-Moriles region of southern Spain.

For this summer’s cask share, we’ve selected a Pedro Ximénez sherry butt—large, dark and full of character. We’re filling it with new make spirit distilled from Langeland barley, a 100-year-old Danish heritage variety grown on our own organic fields here in Thy.

PX sherry is known for its intense sweetness and rich aromas of dried fruit, syrup and oak. This particular cask has held onto Spanish flavour secrets for decades—and now it’s ready to infuse our whisky with new life.

We fill 6 litres per share, dividing the cask into 80 shares in total. Each share will yield a minimum of 8 bottles of finished whisky, bottled in 50 cl bottles.

The sheer size of the cask means the whisky matures slowly, even as the sherry influence is bold and deep. Our goal is to bottle it when the cask’s character is in perfect harmony with the flavourful new make. We’ll be tasting along the way, and expect the whisky to be bottled at cask strength after 6–8 years.
