Lustau Don Nuno Oloroso Dry Sherry

Lustau Don Nuno Oloroso Dry Sherry hails from Jerez, Spain, a classic expression from a highly respected bodega founded in 1896. Lustau is renowned for its wide array of quality sherries, particularly its Almacenista range which showcases wines from small, independent producers. Don Nuno itself is crafted from Palomino grapes and undergoes oxidative aging for an average of 12 years in American oak casks using the traditional solera system. This process occurs in Lustau's Bodega La Campana in Jerez de la Frontera, resulting in its characteristic nutty and smoky wood notes.

Lustau Don Nuno Oloroso Dry Sherry brings robust nutty and dried fruit notes, think walnuts and figs, with a distinct umami depth to your home bar. It's a fantastic way to add complexity and a savory, almost briny character to stirred, spirit-forward cocktails, really shining in drinks where its oxidative richness can play with whiskey or aged rum.

Expect pungent, nutty aromas like walnut and a hint of smoky wood. The palate is rich with dark chocolate, baked chestnuts, and toasted nut flavors, giving way to a long, concentrated, and dry finish lightened by a pleasant tanginess.
