Sherry · COCKTAIL GUIDE

Bamboo

Bamboo is fairly approachable, built around dry, herbal and nutty. The mouthfeel is lean, light body, and the overall impression is moderate in strength. The finish makes more sense for slow tasting than for drinking quickly. Its finish keeps the sherry base in view, even when the opening flavours feel more immediate. If you want to compare it, look next at Adonis; for food, the catalogue starts with Sushi and Olives.
