Hey all,
Does whiskey take longer to sherry than rum? I would think so, since rum is already sweeter coming off the still. Thanks!

Re: Sherrying Whiskey vs. Sherrying Rum
Who says rum is sweeter off the still?
No sugar comes through during distillation.

Re: Sherrying Whiskey vs. Sherrying Rum
I'm not familiar with the term " Sherrying" nor have I seen it used in relation to distilling or aging spirit before.
Can you elaborate?

Yes I know about that Sporacle......just not the terminology " sherrying" To me that could mean adding sherry to the new make after putting it in the barrel.

Re: Sherrying Whiskey vs. Sherrying Rum
Sorry, we were in a huge rush when I posted that waaaaay back! Let me clear it up, and forget what I said about distilling.
We sherry our whiskey and rum in sherry barrels, and our rum tends to be much sweeter, but we’re changing a lot about a lot of our processes. I simply want to know your opinions, in regards to the sweetness of the final product, would you sherry whiskey longer than rum, about the same, or shorter? Thanks!
