Sourced from Bodegas Baron, a 480 year old producer with a very modern outlook. It is made in the same style as Fino sherry; bone dry, with fresh citrus, nutty and doughy flavours that linger on your palate.

Edinburgh?s Port of Leith was once the epicentre of Scotland?s whisky trade.

Casks of sherry arriving into the harbour would be decanted into locally manufactured bottles. Whisky merchants then bought up the empty casks to store their spirit in the dozens of bonded warehouses that once lined the shore. They soon discovered that it transformed their spirit and a major innovation in whisky production was born on our doorstep.

The palomino grapes for sherry are grown in vineyards in Jerez in the South of Spain. They are fermented like any other wine.

The wines are then fortified with grape spirit and matured in 'Solera' warehouses in the towns of Jerez and Sanl煤car de Barrameda.

Historically, full casks of sherry were shipped to Leith and then decanted into locally-made bottles. Whisky merchants then used the empty casks to mature their spirit. They realised customers came back for the sherry cask-matured whisky. A new tradition in Scotch production was born, and it began in Leith.

THE MANZANILLA SHERRY
