Speciality Cream East India 0.5L

Dark, dense, and multi-layered: The Speciality Cream East India from Emilio Lustau sees itself as a homage to the sea voyage and is one of the sweet sherries with depth.

Lustau bottles sherry from Andalusia; the bodegas are located in Jerez de la Frontera. For this cream, Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez components mature for around 12 years in soleras. Afterward, they are blended and aged for another 3 years. Palomino Fino is stated as the grape variety; the PX component provides the sweetness.

In the glass, dried dates and candied orange appear, plus toffee and sweet spices. The sweetness is dense and lush, the spice holds its own against it and gives the sherry complexity.

Serve it at 10 to 12 °C, neat as a digestif or with dessert. It pairs well with walnut cake, crème brûlée, and strong blue cheese. It also works well over vanilla ice cream.
