Made from Pedro Ximénez and oloroso sherries combined with 27 botanicals in American oak, producing a wonderful Jerez-style sweet vermouth.

Dark mahogany in colour, on the nose it is citric and herbal with notes of aged sherry. On the palate it is sweet and slightly bitter, with a soft and very pleasant finish.

Enjoy in classic cocktails like a Manhattan or Negroni to bring a new depth of flavour, or simply serve over ice with orange peel, paired with olives or toasted almonds.

About Fernando De Castilla:

Bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla is named after the thirteenth century king, also called "El Santo", who conquered much of western Andalusia. The eponymous king is said to have discovered the exceptional qualities of the soil and climate of the Marco de Jerez and its ability produce wines of exceptional quality. Despite the historical name, the bodega is relatively young in Jerez terms, having been founded in the 1960s by Fernando Andrada-Vanderwilde as Fernando III and then renamed in 1972.

The Andrada-Vanderwilde family has been involved in winemaking in the area for two centuries, but Fernando initially focused on producing exceptional brandy before expanding to Pedro Ximénez and sherry vinegar. In 1999 Norwegian-born Jan Pettersen was able to realise his lifelong passion and, together with a group of investors, bought the bodega to produce high-end sherry.
