The Best of the Barrel

I know it's a cask and not a barrel, but it's what occurs to me at the moment. Perhaps it will inspire a long list of other ideas.

(blind tasting) . Las Botas del Gran Olor (Oloroso Las Botas sherry)

this is the name of a type of Oloroso sherry which is called Botas or las Botas by English aficionados (see 3rd link) so I would leave it in Spanish or perhaps put explanation in brackets. However, anyone going to a blind tasting is likely to know their stuff so won't need an explanation. The "Soleras" are from the bottom bota or barrel

The Tio Pepé en rama is the new type of sherry that has not been barrel-aged
