Cocktail enthusiasts love sherry drinks. They can range from sweet to dry, with a variety of flavors that you might not find in your average cocktail. Sherry can be described as a fortified wine. This means that it has been mixed in with a spirit, typically a neutral grain alcohol or brandy to increase its strength.
Palomino Moscatel, Pedro Ximenez and Palomino are some of the grapes used to make sherry. Sherry undergoes a fortification with a neutral grain alcohol. It is then aged for a few additional years in 500-liter wooden barrels to improve its flavor and shelf life.
The aging process also allows a mild yeast known as "flor" to develop on the surface of the wine, giving it a nutty and rich flavor. This layer, known as "flor," is what gives sherry its title. It helps preserve the wine from oxidization and makes it richly flavorful.
