Core

Jerez de la Frontera / Spain, Sanlucar de Barrameda / Spain

Famous For

◆

Chicago Fizz

Rum, port, egg white, and soda. A fizz that sounds wrong but drinks right.

◆

Corsair's Dawn Flip

Dark rum and port wine shaken with egg. A pirate's breakfast in a coupe.

◆

Japanese Fizz

Bourbon, port, egg white, and soda. A fizz that crosses continents and centuries.

ABV16-22%. Higher than Fino because additional fortification kills the flor.

Tasting Notes

Hazelnut, amber, dried apricot, caramel, toasted almond, leather, wood smoke, orange peel. Medium body. The dual-aging creates a complexity that pure Fino or pure Oloroso can't match. Dry, lingering finish.
