Sherry

Wine & Grape
Year-RoundUsed in ~8 drinks

Sherry brings a uniquely oxidative, nutty complexity to cocktails that straddles the line between wine and spirit. From bone-dry fino's briny, almond-like bite to cream sherry's rich, raisined sweetness, it offers a spectrum of flavors rooted in the solera aging process. The modern cocktail renaissance has fully embraced sherry as a modifier and base — its low ABV, complex flavor, and food-friendly character make it indispensable for balanced, aperitif-style drinks.

Aroma

Dry, nutty, and slightly oxidative on the nose — toasted almonds, dried flowers, and a faint sea-salt brininess in fino styles; raisined caramel warmth in oloroso and cream expressions.
