Cocktails with Amontillado sherry

Amontillado sherry is a dry, amber-hued sherry that ages first biologically under flor, then oxidatively, giving it more depth than Fino but less weight than Oloroso.

ABV16–19%

Substitutes for Amontillado sherry

Palo cortado sherry

The closest and swaps one for one: just as dry, with an amontillado's nose and an oloroso's body.

Dry oloroso sherry

Works too, for a rounder, heavier drink.

Fino sherry

Gives a lighter, sharper drink.

Fino and dry oloroso mix

Equal parts also come close.

Medium sherry

Sweetens the drink, so taste before adding any syrup the recipe calls for.

On the label

amontillado
A fino whose flor has died or been deliberately killed, then aged in contact with air. That two-stage life is why it holds both a yeasty edge and a nutty depth.
“dry”
1 to 4 grams of sugar per liter. A sweet supermarket “amontillado” is a sweetened blend, not the classified style.
VOS / VORS
Certified average age: VOS is over 20 years, VORS over 30.

Storage

Oxidizes once opened; more resilient than Fino but still best drunk within a couple of weeks — keep it stoppered and refrigerated.
