Williams & Humbert NV Jalifa Rare Old Dry Amontillado Aged 30 Years Sherry (Jerez)
-
$70
Golden brown in color, with smooth, almondy aromas along with apricot, cinnamon and toffee. The palate is full, round, smooth and satisfying, with a fine blend of weight, acidity and prime Sherry flavors. Overall this is a rich, heady style of dry Amontillado that finishes long and secure.

Williams & Humbert NV Don Guido Aged 20 Years Rare Old Sweet Pedro Ximénez (Jerez)
-
$50
Rich and pruney, with bold, reduced black fruit aromas along with chocolate and spice. Compact and delicious in the mouth, with caramel, black coffee and other yummy, unctuous flavors. So thick it pours like motor oil, thus feel free to drink it like a wine or pour it on vanilla ice cream as you might a syrup.

Williams & Humbert NV Dos Cortados Rare Old Dry Palo Cortado Aged 20 Years Sherry (Jerez)
-
$50
Nice and bronze, with nutty, potent aromas that are forward and chiseled. Lively, clipped and zesty in the mouth, with nutty pecan, toasted almonds, lemon zest and length. A powerful Sherry that represents the Palo Cortado category with aplomb.

Williams & Humbert NV Drysack Solera Especial Sweet Old Olorosso Aged 15 Years Sherry (Jerez)
-
$25
When in doubt, you can always trust Dry Sack. As always, this is a powerful, rich Sherry with burnt sugar and heavily toasted coffee and caramel flavors. It’s no softie courtesy of heat and acidity, and at all points it mixes its sweet side with tough, roasted intensity. Great for cigar smokers.
