Whisky matured on oloroso sherry casks and color / coloring

[J. Stephen Lure]

Hi Thomas,
  Just one question: What do you mean by ” It also well known that newmake from different
distilleries got coloured in different ways.”?
  One can read it as if some distilleries colour their newmake. This surely isn’t the case, is it?
  Cheers,
JESPER

It also well known that newmake from different distilleries got coloured in different ways.

not as redish yet.

and also the liquid that used cask before.
