  • Spanish Brandy
    Brandy distilled in Spain, with Brandy de Jerez being the most common type. Brandy de Jerez is typically produced from the Airén grape from La Mancha and can be either column-distilled or pot-distilled. Must be aged in the Jerez region, though typically distilled elsewhere. It must be aged in oak that has previously held sherry wine and is usually aged in a Solera system.

Tasting Notes

"Rich and malty on the nose with coffee grounds, woody spices, and orange zest. The palate is bitter, something that coffee lovers should like and though the wood flavors are present, the brandy is not rough and tannic. The nutty, bitter finish is just on the line between being sweet and dry. Another brandy aged rum lovers should take note of for an alternative sipper."
