This September, St-Rémy Brandy releases the fifth expression of its exclusive Cask Finish Collection, the Oloroso Sherry Casks. The Collection celebrates St-Rémy’s Master Blender, Cécile Roudaut’s expertise in selecting and maturing the brandy in various types of cask.

For the fifth edition, Cécile Roudaut’s quest for the perfect cask brought her to aging St-Rémy in ten casks that previously held Oloroso Sherry, a fortified wine from the Spanish region of Jerez de la Frontera. The influence of the Oloroso Sherry Casks brings to the brandy notes of red fruits, cherry, fig, dates, fresh butter, ginger and liquorice.

“The dance between brandy and sherry wood is like an expressive tango. The Oloroso Sherry Casks create incredibly rich notes of red fruits, figs, dates, and cooked and candied fruits to St-Rémy brandy.” Cécile Roudaut, Master Blender

Launching the collection with the French Chardonnay Casks in 2018, the Cabernet-Sauvignon Casks in 2019, and now with the recent Sherry Casks, the expression is important to Cécile. Before working in the world of spirits, she worked in the wine industry where she learnt about the wine making process and grape varieties and explored the influences of casks and the wonderfully aromatic final product. These experiences influenced Cécile’s choice of selecting a Cask for the limited-edition St-Rémy Brandy.
