The Brandy Ximénez-Spinola Diez Mil Botellas is a distilled product from Pedro Ximénez wines, known for its rich history and traditional aging method. This brandy is made using 750-liter chestnut wood barrels that have been previously seasoned with Pedro Ximénez wine. The history of chestnut wood in Jerez cooperage is notable, as it was the predominant wood before 1939. However, due to deforestation caused by the Civil War, it began to be replaced with American oak. This spirit, aged for a minimum of 12 years in chestnut barrels, retains a unique and authentic flavor profile, offering an experience reminiscent of what was consumed in Spain until the mid-20th century. The peculiarity of chestnut wood is that it does not impart excessive astringent notes, allowing the flavors and aromas of oxidation to be presented clearly, maintaining the aromatic memory of the Pedro Ximénez grape, a distinctive feature of this brandy.
