I have been interested in artisan condiments lately. For example, I bought 5 bottles of artisan soy sauces, to see if I could tell the difference. I really like balsamic vinegar and I can definitely tell a good aged one over one from the local supermarket.

On that note, I bought a bottle of 30 year Sherry vinegar. I tasted it and it doesn't seem that great. It's very sour and sort of salty. I mean it's not bad. It's a good vinegar. I used it in a shallot vinaigrette and it worked well, but I was expecting something else.

Is this what a good aged Sherry should taste like? I wish it was more obvious like balsamic, which gets thicker and sweeter with age.
