These casks are known as Sherry Cask\u00ae. In this work, Brandies de Jerez aged for different aging times (0, 3, 6 and 12 months) in casks seasoned with three different types of Sherry wines (Fino, Oloroso and Amontillado) have been studied. The samples have been analyzed using FT-Raman spectroscopy, and their chemical characterization has also been realized by studying their total content of organic acid, volatile compounds, and phenolic and furanic compounds. Their chemical study showed that the main differences between the studied samples were due to the duration and the type of seasoning performed. However, the spectra obtained through FT-Raman presented noticeable differences according to cask seasoning time and the Sherry wine used for the process. A PCA (Principal Component Analysis) confirmed that the Brandies de Jerez presented significant differences depending on the seasoning time and type that the casks were subjected to. A PLS-R (Partial Least Squares Regression) study enabled establishing a close correlation between specific regions of the FT-Raman spectra and cask seasoning time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23218962","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,3]],"date-time":"2023-11-03T10:59:54Z","timestamp":1699009194000},"page":"8962","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["FT-Raman Methodology Applied to Study the Effect of Time and Type of Seasoning in the Crafting of Sherry Casks\u00ae Used in the Aging of Brandy De Jerez"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1490-1777","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"Guerrero-Chanivet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica Anal\u00edtica, Facultad de Ciencias, Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Vitivin\u00edcola y Agroalimentaria (IVAGRO), Campus Universitario de Puerto Real, Universidad de C\u00e1diz, 11510 Puerto Real, Spain"},{"name":"Bodegas Fundador S.L.U., C\/San Ildefonso, n 3, 11403 Jerez de la Frontera, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7286-9640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dominico A.","family":"Guill\u00e9n-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica Anal\u00edtica, Facultad de Ciencias, Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Vitivin\u00edcola y Agroalimentaria (IVAGRO), Campus Universitario de Puerto Real, Universidad de C\u00e1diz, 11510 Puerto Real, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0654-7958","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel Jos\u00e9","family":"Valc\u00e1rcel-Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bodegas Fundador S.L.U., C\/San Ildefonso, n 3, 11403 Jerez de la Frontera, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5718-3296","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.
