In the spring of 2019, 3 Fonteinen received a series of very old Oloroso, PX and Amontillado barrels through a local Jerez cooperage. The aromas were a mix of typical fine sherry notes and toasted, peated characteristics.
After a year of bottle conditioning they decided to release this bottle not as a peated geuze.
This blend comes mostly from Oloroso barrels. The weighted average age of this blend, upon its release, is more than three years old. The oldest lambik was brewed in the beginning of 2018.
