Brandy or sherry?

Basically, they are one and the same product. The small but very subtle difference that allows a brandy to be called sherry lies in its origin. If it is a sherry, it will always come from the province of Cadiz in Andalusia, specifically between the triangle of cities Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlucar de Barramenda and Puerto de Santa Maria. Only brandies produced here can officially bear this name. Another special feature of sherry is the grape variety used. Only three special varieties may be used for this: Palomino, Pedro Ximenez and Moscatel.

Sherry Lacave Oloroso

There is a crucial difference in the preparation of the Oloroso variant compared to, for example, the Fino variant. While the Fino has the so-called flor layer, a foam-like layer that forms during the fermentation process due to the added yeast and thus prevents contact with air, this is deliberately omitted from the strong Oloroso. The aim here is to allow oxidation with oxygen as much as possible in order to increase the formation of acid.

Distinctive taste

Sherry Lacave Oloroso surprisingly impresses with a finely balanced combination of softness and a youthful touch. The aroma is dominated by fruity dried fruit notes. A certain tartness comes from the walnuts. The two distinctive aromas are also retained in the taste, complemented by further fruity notes of apple.
It is ideal for beginners, as the aftertaste is comparatively light and smooth and not too overwhelming.

Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5, 0,7 Liter, 40%
Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 years 0.7L 40% The history and production of Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 The Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 is no ordinary rum. The story of the Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 begins in the Caribbean. There, the individual rums for the Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 are distilled from the best sugar cane in Guyana and Barbados. Guyana and Barbados represent a centuries-old rum tradition. While Guyana is known for very powerful, intense rums, the rums from Barbados are characterized by their fine, aromatic nuances. After the individual rums for the Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 have been blended by master hands, they mature for at least five years in the tropical temperatures of the Caribbean. Barrels made of American white oak are used for storage; they are particularly popular because of their mild aroma. After this initial storage period, the Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 is imported by Williams & Humbert to Jerez in Andalusia, Spain. Here the Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 is matured for a further three years in barrels that once contained the best sherry. The Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 is finished for two years in former Pedro Ximinez (PX) sherry barrels, the high-quality contents of which remained in the barrel for over 20 years. This unusual and very exclusive maturation process gives the Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 its unusual and very fine aroma! The taste of the Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 The unusual storage of the Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 is naturally also reflected in the taste. The Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 has intense dried fruit aromas on the nose, such as peach, dates and figs. On the palate, the Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 has subtle notes of vanilla, nuts, orange peel and a distinct sweetness. The aftertaste of the Dos Maderas Rum PX 5 + 5 is very fine, elegant and immensely long. A great rum!

Quinta do Infantado White Port, 0,75 L, 19,5%
Quinta do Infantado White Port, 0.75 L, 19.5% The history of Quinta do Infantado Trading in port wine was not always as easy for port wine producing wineries as it is today. Until 1986, the export of port wine was strictly regulated. For example, the law stipulated that port wines could only be exported via the commercial port of Vila Nova de Gaia. This strengthened the position of the large corporations and made it virtually impossible for smaller producers to offer their port abroad. In order to be allowed to export, you had to have a commercial headquarters in Vila Nova de Gaia, which many small companies simply could not afford. Quinta do Infantado was one of them. Since the law was changed, however, things have been going steeply uphill at Quinta do Infantado and the company is now one of the leading suppliers of "estate-bottled" ports - that is, port wines that are bottled directly on the winery. The production of white port at Quinta do Infantado Quinta do Infantado has several terraced vineyards in the Gonthelo region, some of which are planted with white grapes. The work in the vineyard is laboriously done by hand. In addition to careful selection, this also includes harvesting the ripe grapes by hand. The grapes are then transported to the winery, where the vineyard workers crush them with their feet. This traditional method is far gentler than mechanical pressing, as it ensures that the grape seeds are not damaged and bitter substances cannot get into the pressed juice. Unlike red port, there is only a very short fermentation (mashing) or no fermentation at all, and the subsequent fermentation is also quickly stopped with brandy. The taste of Quinta do Infantado White Port This fine port is not only unmistakably a white port in terms of its color. Its taste also shows the typical characteristics of this port wine style. Floral and fruity on the nose, the palate has a fine sweetness that is also underpinned by fruit aromas such as quince and pear. The aftertaste is rather short but full of finesse. Slightly chilled, it is a perfect aperitif!

Burmester Tawny Port 10 Years, 0,75 L, 20%
Burmester Tawny Port 10 years, 0.75 L, 20% A "mayor" in the port wine trade Mayor - Not exactly a word that one associates with good port wine. And yet one of the most famous port wine houses in the world, Burmester, owes its name to him. Burmester was founded in 1730 by Henry Burmester and John Nash as a grain trading company. Henry Burmester's family came from the Schleswig-Holstein town of Mölln and their name is derived from the spelling "Burgmeester" that was common at the time. A few years after its founding, the company moved to the famous trading town of Vila Nova de Gaia. Vila Nova de Gaia was THE main trading point for port wine for several centuries. Until the 1980s, port wine even had to be shipped via Vila Nova de Gaia by law, which forced small port wine houses that had no property there to sell their goods to larger companies. In 1750, Burmester finally began shipping port wine to the British Isles and the rest of Europe. Presumably in order to concentrate entirely on trading in high-quality port wine, Burmester & Nash was dissolved at the beginning of the 18th century and Henry Burmester and his two sons founded a pure port wine trading company: H. Burmester & Sons. Burmester Tawny Port 10 years Over the decades, Burmester has made a name for itself with one style of port wine in particular - Tawny Port. Tawny Port matures longer in barrels than Ruby Port and thus loses its bright red color. After a few years, it takes on a color called "Tawny", which is reminiscent of amber. Tawny is one of the most popular port wine styles and is often enjoyed as an aperitif. The Burmester Tawny Port 10 years is one of the best known and most respected Tawny Ports on the market. It is made from grapes from old vines and carefully matures in small oak barrels. In the more than 250 years since the company was founded, Burmester has perfected the art of blending individual barrels and the Burmester Tawny Port 10 years is one of the best examples of this! The taste of the Burmester Tawny Port 10 years The Burmester Tawny Port 10 years is not only impressive due to its beautifully pronounced amber color. Its ripe but still fruity aromas make it the perfect aperitif. But the Burmester Tawny Port 10 years is not only suitable for enjoyment before a meal, it can accompany almost an entire menu. From hearty main courses to cheese platters, it goes perfectly with many dishes. Its good price/performance ratio also makes it the ideal port to enjoy between meals!

Williams & Humbert Dry Sack Medium Sweet Solera Especial 15 Yo 0,5L 20,5%
Williams & Humbert Dry Sack Medium Sweet Solera Especial 15 years 0.5L 20.5% Williams & Humbert Anyone who doesn't know the company yet will probably assume it's a British company because of the name. Although it has British origins, it is now a distillery in Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia. As early as 1877, Sir Alexander Williams, a wine expert for sherry wines, and Arthur Humbert, a specialist in international relations at the time, dedicated themselves to the Williams & Humbert Bodega. They became known above all for their special storage and the resulting special quality. This is the solera process. Solera process The Dry Sack Medium Sweet Solera Especial 15 years is also a sherry that was produced using the solera process. The barrels are stacked in a pyramid shape, then a certain amount is taken from a barrel in the bottom row and filled into a barrel in the row above. This is continued until the top barrel, where the final product is then found. Products made using this process therefore always contain a mixture of short, medium and long-aged distillates. Dry Sack 15 Años Solera Especial Due to the long maturation of 15 years, this sherry is bursting with complexity and at the same time appears elegant and mature. Nuts and the aroma of dried fruit are clearly in focus, but accompanied by raisins and figs. Despite the significantly sweeter touch, it also has tart barrel notes. It is a sweet, 'medium sweet' sherry that goes particularly well with sweet desserts, chocolate or as an aperitif.

Williams & Humbert Canasta 20Yo Cream Sherry 0,5L 20%
Williams & Humbert Canasta 20 Years Cream Sherry 0.5L 20% Quality liqueur wine from Andalusia For the Canasta 20 Years Cream Sherry, a balanced blend of three grape varieties was chosen: Sobretablas, Palomino and Pedro Ximenez. Storage takes place according to Humbert & Williams in the Solera method, as well as in the Criaderas system in oak barrels. The corresponding aromas are created by the oxidation of the wood with the moisture and oxygen. Taste in the sample There are two well-known names for this type of sweet Oloroso Sherry: “Oloroso Dulce” or “Cream”, as is the case with this product. It is very gentle on the palate, velvety and warming due to the alcohol content. Aromas are clearly dried fruit and nuts, and a subtle association with raisins and browned sugar also spring to mind when tasting it. This cream sherry goes best with almost any kind of dessert, but if you like, you can also drink it neat. In that case, however, it should be well chilled or at least drunk with a little ice.

Williams & Humbert Jalifa Solera Especial 30 Yo Amontillado 0,5L 20%
Williams & Humbert Jalifa Solera Especial 30 Years Amontillado 0.5L 20% Many special features characterize this collector's item: Solera Especial Collection Jalifa 30 Years Amontillado is another product in the Solera Especial Collection of the well-known Williams & Humbert Bodega from Andalusia. In addition to it, there are two other products in the series, the Palo Cortado Dos Cortados and the Pedro Ximenez Don Guido. All three have the additional designation VORS, which means that they are wines that are over 30 years old. Maturation This special bottling also requires a special type of grape. The Palomino grape variety from the Balbaina terroir in Las Conchas was chosen for this. The Amontillado sherry variant has undergone a special maturation process. First, it matures for several years covered in a foam-like layer made up of flor yeast. After a certain time, these yeast cultures die off and oxidative maturation sets in. The distillate is now exposed to the direct influence of oxygen. The taste The aromas are similar on both the nose and the palate, but complement each other with a few notes on both sides. The first impression is of fruit, caramel and roasted almonds. Notes of herbs, tobacco and nuts quickly join in. The Jalifa Amontillado also has a salty taste. The complexity of this VORS sherry becomes clear when vanilla, spices and oak notes are added. In the long finish, the nut aromas are much more present.
