interesting. Jerez2 replies to bourbon. Now there's a post with an alcoholic flair.

Do you know that jerez is aged in old bourbon casks?

Perhaps accordingly, we share some special link as well?? Hmmm.... :-)

I knew some malt whiskeys are "finished" in old sherry ("jerez" in Spanish) casks, after aging in their own oaken cask for several years. I never realized that it could be done the other way around. You learn something new everyday - especially on FR.

Finally, someone knows what 'jerez' means!
I didn't know that about the casks -- either sherry-to-whiskey or vice-versa.
But the alcoholic connection is amusing...
kinda like when I moved from Joost Street to High Street (think about it!) :-)
