“The forgotten Amontillado” - around 25 year-old Amontillados with no further additions except a little alcohol. Nose: Tobacco, spices, wood, roasted nuts, oak, salt and oxidation.

butterscotch on the nose, fresh and clean, nutty notes Tangy, bone dry, then nuts and some earthy, slightly funky notes Good
