- Description
- This is not a whisky but a palo cortado sherry—a style bridging amontillado and oloroso with the nose of the former and palate of the latter, creating a singular wine-like experience. Nutty and slightly smoky, the expression shows complexity from its aging under solera in Jerez, Spain. At 20% and 50 cl, it functions as both aperitif and meditation spirit. Best served at cellar temperature for those exploring sherry's range beyond the mainstream categories.
