Cost
Soberano is a brand offshoot of González-Byass that has existed since at least 1913. The brandy is produced from the must of the Airén grape variety grown in La Mancha, distilled in a column still. The distillate is then brought to Jerez, where it is aged in ex-bourbon-turned-sherry barrels, set up in a solera system.

Tasting Notes
"Roasted coffee and toffee emanates from the glass and washes over the palate. Cashews, marzipan and caramel add a chewy richness. This is all brought together with cinnamon spice, pear, orange rind, and a hint of cigar-box tobacco aromas, heading off into a slightly hot finish. "
