Another dry oloroso
Swaps straight in.
The closest swap. Dry and nutty but a little lighter.
Cream sherry or medium sherry
Cream sherry makes the drink much sweeter, so you need about half a barspoon less syrup per 15 ml of sherry. With medium, just a little less.
Dry Madeira
Sercial is nutty too, but noticeably sweeter, so you will need a little less syrup.
On the label
- oloroso
- Fortified higher from the start, so flor never forms and the wine ages in contact with air throughout. That is where the walnut and dried-fruit depth comes from.
