I assume that Vic was working with a cream sherry, as I believe those were most dominant in the American marketplace when this drink was invented.

Modern bartender Martin Cate serves a version topped with Amontillado sherry which has been lauded by many. I’d suggest trying it with either, and am really curious about the addition of Amontillado, as the flavor profile of that sherry is so unusual – it’s nutty and aromatic with a dry finish, not what people typically think of when they think of sherry. Let us know what you go with!

Cin-cin!

I’m one of those people who knows nothing about sherry, and I’m assuming the flavors in sherry vary as much as flavors do in ports. Could you give a couple of specific bottling / brands as being examples of serviceable (or even recommended) ones to use?

Thanks

George
