manufacturing process
Our casks are handcrafted to a very high standard.

Scottish and Irish distilleries and well known distilleries in Asia, Europe and the
Americas
Raw material
We use national oak from Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria, European oak and American oak
Drying
We receive the oak when it is still green. It is open air dried thanks to the location of our cooperage in the heart Andalusia.
Toasting
The toasting level can be chosen according to the requirements of each customer.
Bending
We do not use any type of chemical fuel. We only use excess pieces of oak to feed the fire in the making of our casks.
Seasoning
To season our casks, we work with many prestigious cellars. The casks can be seasoned with different sherry types such as Oloroso, Fino, Manzanilla, Amontillado, Pedro Ximenez or Moscatel.
Quality
The whole process is supervised by our master coopers who submit the casks to air and water tightness proof tests and ensure they are made to the highest standards.
Adaptability
All our products are tailored to the needs of each customer, whose requirements on type of oak, toasting, sherry and seasoning period are all catered for.
Traceability
For each barrel we can provide full information regarding its seasoning specifications, type of wood and its origin, production timelines etc.
