For this Single Barrel Fino, we bottled an old barrel which held fino for more than forty years. The barrel originates from the great Toro Albalá bodega, from Montilla-Moriles, a bit of an outlier of the sherry region. While that part is known for the sweet PX sherry wines, Toro Albalá focuses on refined fino and amontillado sherries as well. We added a little bit of a liqueur de tirage to push the still lambik to fermentation to get the subtle fino notes jump out of the glass.

A dispersed suspension of orange haze finely bubbles under a lumpy but thick off-white head.
Exceptionally seedy, toasty, full on NY bagel meets an orange marmalade, but tart yet gently so, with a finely soft carbonation that blankets the palate so delicately before its cleanly, beautifully oaky finish. Passion fruity dry white wine supports very uniquely, almost becoming watermelon or cantaloupe, swerved gently more mature by the sherry oak.
I just love the barrel in these. And the consistency of expression between batches and barrel experimentation. This is an absolute stunner.
