This expression continues the Supremo range's focus on specific sherry cask influence, in this case drawing from Amontillado-seasoned barrels. Produced in Jerez and aged through the solera system, it reflects a more oxidative and drier style compared to Pedro Ximenez cask expressions. Amontillado sherry, known for its nutty and slightly saline character, contributes a more structured and less overtly sweet profile. With a 15 year age statement, it represents a further step into the premium tier, where extended aging allows for greater integration of oak and secondary flavours. The use of Amontillado casks introduces a distinctive balance between richness and dryness, setting it apart from sweeter brandies within the same range. Positioned for sipping, it appeals to drinkers who prefer complexity and nuance over sweetness, offering a bridge between traditional Jerez brandy and more oxidative, wine-influenced styles.
