  Bought at Sherry and Tapas Tasting by Perman Wines , May 3, 2019. Served with appetizers from Fat Rice restaurant.
  
  In 1832 the master carpenter Jose Antonio Sierra founded El Maestro Sierra. As one of the top coopers in the area, Jose Antonio was the person who made the barrels for all of the big Sherry hosues. After years of making barrels for everyone else he came to the conclusion that he could produce Sherries that were better than what the big Sherry houses were crankjing out, so he went about opening up his own little winery. This little upstart Sherry producer was not welcomed in world of nobility owned Sherry houses and so the local gentry did everything they could to stop him. Fontunately, the quality of his Sherry prevailed over their efforts and Jose Antonio Sierra became one of the top Almacenistas (stock holders0 of high quality Sherries. This Olorso was aged 15 years in solera.
