About this deal

In Jerez, there are 30 producers, or bodegas, producing brandy in the “sherry triangle” formed by the towns of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. While many know this brand more for its sparkling wine, they definitely shouldn’t sleep on its brandy.

It may be a cocktail for acquired tastes, though the experience of drinking brandy, anisette liqueur, and egg white is one you won't forget. Another one of the “big four” of the cognac world, Hennessy was founded not by a Frenchman, but by an Irishman. Requiring just three ingredients—brandy, crème de cacao, and cream—it mixes up quickly, and the taste is unbelievably satisfying for the sweet tooth. I've purchased a bottle of this a while back and it does not disappoint, so smooth and forgiving fruity but with oak notes that speak age, some molasses and calves leather but compared to Carlos it's very very different and is very sweet and I would class this as a dessert brandy. In Penedès brandy producers use Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada, the same grape varieties used to produce Spanish Cava.It’s not a Brandy de Jerez, so it avoids that sickly sweetness often associated with Spanish brandies.

There's also an egg yolk which, unlike the white that creates a nice foam, gives the drink a distinctly eggy flavor. Additionally, author Christopher Osburn has more than 15 years of experience writing about alcohol and lifestyle topics across the globe. Torres 10 is a solera aged Spanish brandy, made by a company that certainly knows a thing or two about producing excellent grape-based beverages, as Torres have a history with top-quality brandies and wine.This is different practice than say the Scotch whisky industry where the stated age on a bottling is the youngest component of the blend. The cardinal was an advisor to Ferdinand II and Isabel I, and was instrumental in persuading the Spanish monarchs to support Christopher Columbus’s first voyage to the new world. Deserves so much more recognition and been the winner of the World's Best Brandy 2015 it seems to have still not got its recognition !
