Sherry

Sweet wine from Andalucia in the south of Spain where the grapes are late harvested and dried to concentrate flavours into sweet treats such as this lovely  fortified wine. 

Complex flavours here include caramel, walnut and hazelnut aromas.

This wine comes from Andalusia in the south of Spain, the same region that is home to sherry but this wine lies just outside of the geographic sherry triangle, so it is not, strictly speaking, sherry, although it tastes just like an outstanding amontillado style.

Introducing the Firkin 49 - The Firkin founder?s favourite selection of softly spoken relaxing
drams.

The 49 is a Highland Single-Malt Scotch Whisky - Distilled at Tullibardine Distillery 2012.

This distillery and the Firkin Founder were both founded in ?49. This is a cracker. It?s kind of long but narrow and jam-packed with creamy butterscotch toffee, crisp malt and some fruit oak. It hangs around with a tad of cinnamon and sweet biscuit.

Kilchoman Fino Cask 2020 Bottling Note

An intriguing bottling here from Kilchoman, which has been matured fully in Fino sherry casks! The casks for this expression were used previously by Bodega Miguel Martin in Spain, including 11 fresh sherry butts and just the one refill butt. Combining the savoury notes of peaty whisky with the salinity of Fino, this ought to be great for someone looking to try something a little bit different.

Nose: Toasted nuts, peat smoke and a hint of sea salt, while sweeter notes of honey and banana bring some balance.

Palate: Dark chocolate, another touch of flaky sea salt, a burst of fresh citrus and some earthy, vegetal peat.

Finish: Green olive, salted butter and smoke.

For almost two centuries Tio Pepe cellar masters have used the 'Palma' chalk mark system in their bodega.  Traditionally the Palma mark was used on barrels to indicate wines of exceptional finesse and delicacy of aromas.  The more "Palmas" on barrel the greater the maturity of the wine.

Coming from barrels n?11, 84 and 90 of the Gran Bodega T?o Pepe, the 6 years of aging under an intense white flower blanket give Una Palma the characteristics of biological aging: nuts, bakery, talc and a pleasant sensation. 100% Palomino Fino.  It is botled without filteration or clarification.

Part of Ron Abuelo's Finish Collection, this 15-year-old Panamanian rum has been finished in oloroso-sherry casks. This has resulted in notes of citrus, toasted almonds and smoked wood.

This limited edition Tomintoul has spent the last 18 months of its 12 year maturation in Olorose Sherry casks which has given it a well rounded, creamy richness whilst staying true to its soft style.
