Caramel and toffee with roasted hazelnuts and a touch of raisin sweetness. Rich, full and textured.

A true dry amontillado. Dry but rich with complex notes of lime leaf, caramel and hazelnuts.

Nose: a nutty, sweet expression. Salted caramel and hints of dried apricots. Honeydew melon, even some maple syrup. Toasted almonds, hazelnuts and golden raisins. Really elegant notes of polished oak and wax as well. Less spectacular than the Amontillado Cuatro Palmas for example, but definitely part of the same family.

Mouth: less powerful than you may think from the alcohol strength. Citrus, again a hint of toffee / peach sweetness. Light wood (cedar oak), nutty notes (walnuts) and a relatively soft salty tang. Cinnamon. Hints of leather. Long, nutty finish with more acidity and some heat from the alcohol.

Nose: toffee, chocolate and bags of dried figs, prunes and raisins. Hints of walnut liqueur and hazelnut cream. Coffee. Different kinds of precious woods, sandalwood to name just one. A distant echo of lemon peel too. Actually not too sweet and the complexity is really high.

Mouth: it’s Dulce alright, but actually I feel the balance between sweetness, acidity and herbal savouriness hits a sweet spot. Deep oaky notes again, leathery notes and dark chocolate. A certain heat as well, probably because of the many herbs and spices (cloves, soft pepper). Roasted nuts. Espresso. Some tangy lemon in the background.

Nose: nicely balances the characteristics of Palo Cortado with Pedro Ximénez. There are dark, caramelized notes and molasses with a clear smoky side, but also more mineral and tangy notes. Nice tobacco. Orange peel. Saline hints. Toffee. Roasted almonds. Also quite a lot of peppery touches.

Mouth: same impressions, it’s full-bodied and off-dry, and provides plenty of spicy notes, chocolate coated nuts, figs and toffee. Then again there’s this tangy, salty note behind it, slightly muted by the Pedro Ximénez. Sweet Turkish coffee. Hints of bread crust. Hazelnuts and a whiff of smoke in the aftertaste.

A medium intensity mahogany colour. Delicate on the nose, with intense dried fruits, hazelnuts and walnuts. Notes of spices, vanilla and more dried fruit on the palate. Full bodied and with a long sophisticated finish.

NOTE: THIS IS A 50cl BOTTLE
Mahogany coloured. Aromas and flavours of caramel, toasted almonds and dried apricots. Very expressive and complex. Good acidity, and a very long persistent finish.

Palo Cortado from a single vineyard, the estate of Marchanudo. Mahogany coloured with copper tinges, delicate and pungent on the nose extremely elegant with reminiscences of old oak and naturally dry fruits. The taste is dry, rich in flavour, good acidity very complex, long and persistent, in perfect harmony with its aroma.

Atamán vermouth, produced primarily using Manzanillas from the historic Angioletti and El Toro wineries that are located in Sanlúcar’s upper quarter. Inspired by the old Atamán reserves: quinquina wines and old Vermouths that have been stored in Bodegas Barbadillo for decades. Atamán is a brand of Vermouth that was registered by Bodegas Barbadillo in January 1943. We often find ourselves asking why it was that Manuel Barbadillo gave it this name. We don’t have an answer to this question, but what we do know is that this Caucasian gentleman, a general in the Cossack armies has re-emerged today, abounding with character and with wormwood, quassia, bitter orange, rosemary and elderberry aromas.

The influence of the time spent in old Pedro Ximenez casks is evident in this brandy. Lepanto PX shows a dark amber colour with mahogany tones. On the nose, beautiful rich aromas of raisins and figs and notes of oak from the time spent in cask. On the palate, smooth and elegant with a sweet sensation from the Pedro
Ximenez.
