No spirits coming in this month. On the other hand there is a nice tawny 20 year old port from Warre's. Warre's is one of the oldest Portuguese exportation houses still running. Established in 1670 to export goods such as wines, fruits and olive oil and import dried cod and wool from England. Over time the name changed, but the goods did not. Still a large exporter of fine port to the world now, they are renowned for their superb quality and style.
The Otima lineup was a revelation to the port community; and is still widely acknowledged as the most successful new development in Port for over 25 years. Otima shows Port's versatility as an all year round liqueur (20% constitutes a liqueur here), bringing a modern touch to a classic drink. Its often described as being a lush soft Port. Featuring nutty aromas and hints of coffee, caramel and orange peel. A pretty reasonable deal for $40. Can be cellared up to 3 or 4 years for that special occasion, or consumed today. Check you local LCBO for ordering [SKU #682716]. Take note that the 10 year old is also available from the LCBO [SKU #566174].In other news; I have survived my trip to the Spirit of Toronto show. It was an excellent time with many a new spirit showcased. There are a few that still stand out to this day in my mind, but this is for another post. I am still compiling my pictures and notes, but will get to this some day soon I hope. You can check my twitter history HERE for a preview.
