Details
Known for its pale appearance and delicate flavour profile, Fino is the driest style of Sherry. It must be biologically aged for at least two years under a ‘flor’: a yeast layer which prevents oxidation.
Maturation in former Fino hogshead casks has resulted in a single malt bursting with stewed pear, sugared almonds and vanilla custard tones.
Natural colour and non-chill filtered.
