I review the beers I drink

Lustau – East India Solera Cream Sherry

 

Pours an orange-ish mahogany color, smells of fig, raisin, oak, and booze. The taste is sweet and dense with flavors of honey, fig, caramel, plum, toffee, and raisins on a smooth (and warming) full body. The finish is long and moderately low in bitterness, featuring notes of oak, caramel, tobacco, vanilla, and coffee. Overall this is very nice, perhaps the widest range of flavors of all of these sherries I have tried, particularly the oak. A nice bottle keep on hand to pair with desserts.

NO VINTAGE

ABV:20%
IBU:
Malts:80% Palomino, 20% Pedro Ximénez
Other:"Each wine (Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez) is matured, separately in its own solera for 12 years. Once blended together, the resulting sherry is returned to a 45-cask solera for a further 3 years aging. Its aging process recreates that of the wines which crossed the oceans in the 17th century voyages."
Yeast:Wine
