Overview
The Lustau East India is a luxurious blend that redefines the Cream Sherry category. This high-quality Sherry combines 12-year-old dry Oloroso with the natural sweetness of 12-year-old Pedro Ximénez, achieving a perfect harmony at 120 grams of residual sugar per litre. Its rich, mahogany hue and velvety texture reflect its heritage and meticulous craftsmanship, making it a refined indulgence for connoisseurs.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, Lustau East India enchants with notes of mahogany, dried fruits like dates, prunes, and raisins, all underscored by luscious toffee. The palate is decadently smooth, offering a delightful interplay of sweetness and depth. Flavours of caramelised sugar and dried fruits are complemented by a soft, lingering finish. Perfectly paired with cheeses, chocolate biscuits, crème brûlée, or tiramisu, this Sherry transforms any moment into a sumptuous experience.
