Oloroso Rich and nutty in flavour, olorosos are aged for years (sometimes up to 100 years). The best olorosos are dry, whereas mass-produced olorosos are quite often sweetened. Some very old olorosos are too austere to be enjoyed in their natural dry state, and need to be lightly sweetened to be drinkable. Thus styles of even top-quality olorosos can vary.
