Amontillado Sherry

Amontillado sherry — dry Spanish fortified Palomino wine aged first under flor (biologically) then oxidatively, yielding amber color, hazelnut and walnut aromas, and a dry, nutty-saline palate around 17-19% ABV. Used straight as an aperitif and in modern cocktails (Bamboo, Adonis riffs, sherry cobblers). Examples: Lustau Los Arcos, Hidalgo Napoleon, Williams & Humbert Dry Sack, Tio Pepe Amontillado.
