I recently enjoyed a glass of Sandeman Sweet Oloroso with a Partagas 898V and was thoroughly impressed with both. Being new to Sherry, I'd appreciate any suggestions for a value oloroso or other Sherry that offers some depth and complexity. Generally, I drink fairly strong bourbons, so I would say that I tend to appreciate more the caramel/toffee sweetness than a sugary sweetness or tropical fruit sweetness.

I would recommend the Emilio Lustau, Centenary Selection Murillo, Pedro Ximenez

another one which is a tad more steep No 32 La Bota de Manzanilla, Equipo Navazos

Enjoy

I've had six or eight bottles of one of the Pedro Ximenez sherries that Rob recommended on this site years back (so far back I can't find the post using search.) It was like drinking raisins. I liked it, but the raisin taste is very pronounced. Not sure if that sounds appealing to your or not.

Older Palo Cortado's from Lustau, Byass and especially Barbadillo are great companions!!!

anything PX is going to be very much at the sweet end of the spectrum. lustau is a great producer across all styles. the palo cortado suggestion is a good one.

the la bota sherries are expensive and hard to find but seriously good. shame that there is so little of them. that manzanilla is a cracker but it will be bone dry.

and rob recommended sherries? our rob?

Very much worth looking out for... rich and dry to the bone... Went perfect with a Diplo #1 2001 tonight!

1918 is a bit misleading as it's non-vintage Sherry, it is however the year this Solera started so a tiny drop might actually from 1918 - not that is makes a difference.
