This Oloroso is a minimum of 6 years old. Produced from the palomino grape variety; it is fortified with the addition of vinous alcohol up to 18%, spending at least 6 years aging oxidatively in solera, without the protection of flor. La Cigarrera is produced exclusively from vineyards in the Jerez Superior Denomination of Origin. They are located in the original bodega from 1891 in the Plaza Madre de Dios in the Barrio Bajo (lower part) subzone of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, possessing some of the oldest casks in town.
One-Liter Format Sherries
The next evolution in our exploration of Sherry brings one-liter formats of three key Sherry styles from the highly respected almacenista house of La Cigarrera. The vision of the project is simple: if the quality of cocktail ingredients matter, then the quality and authenticity of Sherry in bar programs must be better.
Our liter Sherry program combines two qualities that have been previously missing from the mixology landscape: quality, small-batch ingredients at a profitable cost-per-ounce price. The liter format is ideal for innovative and quality-minded mixologists and bar programs, as well as high-volume restaurants with a focus on Sherry by the glass. These attributes, combined with the ease of use of liter bottles and reduction in waste, adds value in every category.
Tasting Notes
Very fine with dried fruits and flowers on the nose. The palate is smooth with a lot of umami from the abundance of glycerol. Saline and fine with balanced bitter notes. Seabreeze and iodine balanced with notes of hazelnuts.
Usage Notes
Match the richness of La Cigarrera Oloroso with dark aged spirits such as whisky, rum, amaro, and sweet vermouth, or counterbalance with bright fruit flavors such as banana, pineapple, or Jacoulot’s Crème de Mûre.
Serving Recommendation
La Cigarrera Oloroso should be served at European room temperature (68°F) or makes for an excellent mixing ingredient. This large-format bottle is ideal for cocktail programs.
