Description
A 1960's Williams & Humbert bottling, Old East India sherry. East India sherry is a sweetened Oloroso. The name refers to the East India Company, a British trading company that transported cotton, silk, spices, tea, saltpetre and other commodities from the East Indies. As a fortified wine (which lasted longer), sherry was taken along as ballast and to serve the ship’s crew on its transatlantic journey.
Oloroso means fragrant and the best examples will display dried fruits, leather, polished wood and exotic spices.
