Background

For over 130 years, Bodegas Williams & Humbert have been producing the finest sherries and brandies; as well as a diverse portfolio of spirits, utilizing one of the most traditional methods of ageing, the solera method. Founded in 1877 by Sir Alexander Williams and Arthur Humbert, Bodega Williams & Humbert has been considered to be one of the worlds most prestigious wine producers in the world. Located in the heart of Jerez de la Frontera, Bodega Williams & Humbert has more than 1,200 acres of vineyards, and the largest wine cellar in Europe. The family owned and operated Bodega has produced a great variety of high quality sherries, while maintaining the traditional methods of solera aging. Solera is a method of producing wines, where small amounts of younger wines are systematically blended with the more mature wines over a period of time. Dry Sack 15 Year-Old is a rare indulgence to be enjoyed as a dessert wine or after-dinner drink - a sophisticated alternative to a port or single-malt. A blend of 78% Dry Oloroso and 22% Pedro Jimenez Sherries. Aged for at least 15 years, each Sherry style is first aged in its own Solera system and then blended in a third Solera.

Points

The NV Dry Sack Solera Especial 15 Años has noticeable sweetness and a PX character, 20.5% alcohol and around 100 grams of sugar. It's a blend of Oloroso with sweet PX with notes of incense, wax and old furniture intermingled with notes of dates, raisins and molasses. It has a certain lightness in the palate. -L.G.
