Production: First-press musts from our best vineyards, which after controlled fermentation at 22°C, are fortified with the best wine distillates up to 19.5°. A blend of Oloroso yema from Palomino and Pedro Ximénez varieties, aged through the Solera and Criadera System, where physical-chemical aging by oxidation takes place for a minimum average time of six years in American oak barrels.
The Brand: It was Carl Williams, son of founder Alexander Williams, who in the years before World War I created the blends and names of some of the winery’s brands that endure to this day. Thus, before 1914, Dry Sack and Molino were born. Shortly after, he added the brands Walnut Brown, A Winter’s Tale, As You Like It, and Cedro.
From its inception to the present day, this sweetened Oloroso is one of the Sherry wines with the most international projection. Dry Sack has been, and continues to be, a true classic and has had a long journey in the American market, where it has occupied a prominent place in the country’s cocktail scene. Its advertising campaigns in the United States are famous, as well as its presentation in the well-known cloth sack: Dry Sack in a sack.
The origin of this brand’s name can be traced back to the term ‘sack’ used in the past to refer to Jerez wines. Back in the 15th century, ‘sack’ was identified with the ‘saca’ or extraction of wine that was carried out to obtain wines from the Marco region. These sherries or ‘sacks’ were mostly sweet wines at the time, to the taste of consumers of that era. Hence, when Williams Humbert decided to market a sherry, a ‘sack’ of Medium character, they added the word Dry. Thus, this world-renowned brand was born: Dry Sack Medium, a sherry “not too sweet, not too dry”.
