The latest limited edition release in the Old Perth series is this delightful Amontillado expression. Created from liquid drawn from 9 hogshead and 6 butts with almost 3 years further ageing in 1st fill Amontillado sherry casks. Old Perth Amontillado has been bottled at 52.8% vol, non-chill filtered and without any additional colouring.
Amontillado gets it unique flavour from two stages of aging, first protected by a layer of yeast, then exposed to air to develop more complex, nutty notes. Unlike the deeply sweet and fruity character of Pedro Ximénez or Oloroso sherries, Amontillado offers a drier, more savoury character.
