AW: Whisky matured on oloroso sherry casks and color / coloring

[Bernhard Schäfer]

Hi all,
Honestly I have my doubts, surely newmakes are different. 
But concerning the colour I assume that the chemical differences in the
newmakes, concerning the amount of different alcohols (lighter/heavier)are
not so unequal that they would influence the dissolving power so strong,
that you can say :  "A lighter spirit is usually not as dark as an oilier
one."

Sorry all.
A missunderstang from bad writing.

What i meant by this was that since the different newmakes has different
contents, they get their colour from the casks in different amounts. A
lighter spirit is usually not as dark as an oilier one.

Sorry again.
Thomas
