Cocktails with Amontillado sherry
Description
Amontillado sherry is a Spanish fortified wine that begins aging under a layer of flor yeast, then continues oxidatively, giving it a unique dual character. Historically favored in Andalusia, it is often referenced in literature, most famously in Edgar Allan Poe’s The Cask of Amontillado. Best stored in a cool, dark place and consumed within a week once opened.
Taste
Nutty, dry, with oxidative complexity.
Usage
Great in classic cocktails like the Bamboo or Adonis. Can also be sipped neat or used to add depth to spirit-forward drinks.
