Palo cortado is an intermediate type of sherry that most often is similar to a lightweight, delicate oloroso. Only 12,000 bottles were produced.

Tasting Notes
"Sweet and very clean, with notes of nougat and fudge, but also some stone fruits like nectarine. The nose is generally gentle and well-balanced, except for the burnt coffee beans. The palate is pretty viscous and winey, almost Sauternes like. Dried apricots and figs, as well as a fair amount of walnut skins. The alcohol is pretty aggressive, making it a seemingly hot and spicy dram. A little too hot sometimes."
