Carlos I Brandy de Jerez, Solera Gran Reserva in Gift Box, 70 cl (1 bottle)

Product Information

Ageing – Carlos I is aged in American oak casks previously used to age Oloroso and Amontillado sherries for more than 20 years and provides Carlos I with its unique flavour. The Amontillado adds almond and hazelnut flavours, while the Oloroso enriches Carlos I with nutty aromas, old oak and tannins giving it a noble and elegant flavour. Carlos I Brandy is aged in cellars which are over 250 years old. Colour - deep-dark ambarish- red …which presumably comes primarily from the aging process in oak sherry casks...

The range of traditional Spanish Brandies, Carlos I are the number 1 Brandy de Jerez in the world, selling in over 100 countries worldwide and the premium leader in most markets. Did you know? The term XO Brandy, short for “extra old”, refers to a Brandy where the youngest spirit in the blend has been stored for at least six years in cask. P.S. Since the articles of newfinns.com aim at transparency and knowledge, I’d like to note that enjoying a quality drink, when you are legally aged, has nothing to do with alcohol abuse in any manner, which may prove strongly culturally and individually biased… In that regard here are 2 videos concerning the matter: Why hangover happen? and Which alcohol gives the worst hangover?Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.

Nose - sherry, cherry, vanilla, toffee...Inhaled from very close distance, one can feel alcohol chills with notes of oak in his/her nose, but with nothing excessive or unpleasant… This cookie is set by Rubicon Project to control synchronization of user identification and exchange of user data between various ad services. Carlos I is produced at El Puerto de Santa Maria at Grupo Osborne’s bodega of 250 years. Carlos I is a Brandy de Jerez which like Sherry is produced in a geographically protected region of production, known as the Sherry Triangle. The Jerez region of Spain is an area that benefits from a unique microclimate regulated by the surrounding waters of The Atlantic Ocean, the Guadalete and Guadalquivir Rivers along with the prevailing easterly Levante and westerly Poniente winds. Taste - in a freshly opened bottle, my unprofessional, but yet unprejudiced taste, catches a kind of cherry-grapes (that’s the best term I figured out…) initial taste with sharper, but yet well balanced good brandy aftertaste, with notes of toffee, oak and grapes as well as some kind of watery-freshness at the end… I should also note that the quality of the drink improves, in terms of smoother smell and taste, when you leave the spirit to breath for some time or if you let air in the bottle, ex about 15-20% from the bottle is drunk and you close the rest for tomorrow… I am not an expert, but quite likely the latter results from the processes of evaporation and may be to some extent oxidation on air, but I’ll leave that for your own research :).
