History

The palo cortado sherry's fino notes provide freshness to this brandy old-fashioned, which has delicate spice and vanilla influences.

This drink, created in May 2025, draws inspiration from a vintage Cayetano del Pino & Cía advertisement that featured a heroic drinker. While the advertisement highlighted the bodega's amontillado, this cocktail is considered to be superior when made with palo cortado.
