Lustau’s Fino del Puerto has an intensely fruity character in its infancy with notes of ripe yellow apples, pears and white peach all present. In many ways it is more like white wine than a Sherry on the nose. The palate gives away its origins though; it is very pure with a savoury backbone. Delicate touches of dried apricot vie with a hint of marmite on the subtle, yet long finish

NOTE: THIS IS A HALF BOTTLE (37.5cl)
100% Moscatel from Lustau’s vineyard “Las Cruces” in Chipiona. Aged for 8 years in Jerez de la Frontera.

This delicious Pedro Ximenez has a liquid Christmas cake character, great depth and a lovely flick of acidity on the finish which serves to emphasise the unctuous sweetness and flavours of dried fig and raisins.

Nose: relatively close to a Fino in the sense that it shows similar chalky / yeasty notes and a pungent salinity. Maybe a little more delicate, with a lot of rounder notes as well: a little caramel and dried apricot. Hazelnuts and almonds. Hints of honey, old wood and subtle oak polish.

Mouth: very un-sweet of course, but it lacks the austerity that sometimes comes with dry Amontillado. Quite light with few flavours that really stand out. Orange peel. Almonds. Medium acidity. Some half-sweet notes in the background (think figs and citrus). Also a faint bitter edge of chestnuts.

Young wines from Pedro Ximenez grapes dried in the sun are used to elaborate this fine, sweet liqueur wine aged 24 months in French Vosges oak barrels.

Mahigany colour with a walnut aroma. On the palate it is dry with pronounced nutty flavours that give way to a long, smooth finish

NOSE
Coffee and dark chocolate.
PALATE
Very sweet with a super thick texture. Appealing almonds/amaretto character. Subtle taste of figs.
FINISH
Caramel and toffee. Long, thick, and mouth-coating.

With a mahogany colour and orange highlights, Yzaguirre Classic Red Vermouth has an intense aroma with herby and spicy notes. Mild balsamic touches give it a pleasant and very unique structure. It has a good aromatic intensity in the mouth which balances out the acidity very well. Long, intense and slightly bitter aftertaste.

Gonzalez Byass has relaunched a historic brand of vermouth, La Copa. Based on the original 19th-century recipe, this is made using a blend of eight-year-old oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherries. Flavoured with botanical including wormwood, clove, orange peel, nutmeg, angelica and quinine, this is a sweeter style of vermouth that works well in cocktails.

Melody Crema Catalana, the authentic Catalan Cream liqueur is characterised for having a low alcohol content, for the freshness of its aroma and its natural flavour. This is simply Creme Brulee in a glass!

Soberano is an easy drinking Spanish brandy that has been aged in American oak casks for a prolonged period during which time it attains its spicy smooth taste and delicate rich nutty caramel aromas alongside a full bodied long finish. Excellent on its own and it is amazing with mixers like cola
