We’ll taste each of the main styles (except cream sherry - you can raid grammie’s cabinet for that) while we break down the basics and then get as geeky as we want. Bonus - Diego speaks perfect English! No translation needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy Sherry?!? Cuz it's delicious. You might just end up with another vice. And before using specialized casks, Scotch whisky was often stored in barrels that previously held fish, meat, or other goods. Thank god this isn’t a herring masterclass, right! One release of Fishky is enough for everyone. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the early 1800s, sherry wine from Jerez de la Frontera became one of the hottest commodities in the UK market and the dominant drink of the Victorian era. Once emptied, these casks became available to distillers who realized that the matured whisky was just tastier after a little rest in a sherry cask. Queue Macallan, Glendronach, Aberlour, Highland Park and so many more legends. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting date\u003c\/strong\u003e: Saturday July 11 at 8pm CEST (Spanish Mainland Timezone)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLineup (8 Sherries)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipo Navazos La Bota de Manzanilla Pasada 120 Botas NO - 16.5% 5CL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValdespino Fino Inocente 15% - 5CL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerez Barquero Gran Barquero Fino 15% - 5CL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGutiérrez Colosía Oloroso Sangre y Trabajadero 18% - 5CL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerez Barquero Gran Barquero Oloroso 19% - 5CL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFernando de Castilla Palo Cortado Antique 20% - 5CL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXiménez-Spínola Old Harvest 17% - 5CL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGonzález Byass Apóstoles Palo Cortado 30Y VORS 20% - 3CL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7 samples with 5cl and one sample with 3cl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly 27 set available!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat is the Distillates Community?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Distillates nurtures a private slack group to coordinate tastings, splits and group buys.
