      A brandy over 25 years old... complex but amiable. This brandy is the upshot of blending excellent distillates called holandas and spirits (aguardientes), aged for years in American oak barrels that previously contained oloroso sherry, currently more than twenty-five years old on average. It is classified as Solera Gran Reserva, although this designation does not contribute much to the ageing of our products, as it is granted to any brandy that certifies an ageing of more than three years. Today, it continues to be aged in American oak barrels that formed part of the soleraje of our VORS Tradición Oloroso wine. The complexity of this brandy is well-known, but its amiability, both in nose and mouth, makes it a very tempting yet simple drink for people not initiated in brandy appreciation. The spicy bouquets - with cloves and nutmeg - toasty notes from noble old wood, roasted and pipe tobacco, with a heart of liqueur chocolate, invite you to sample it. It is a good companion for dark chocolate, medium to strong Havana cigars and nuts. For bolder tastes, it is highly recommendable with certain types of cheese, like Idiazábal. The ideal temperature for tastings during winter is from 16ºC to 18ºC, but we recommend against serving it in a brandy snifter to avoid the concentration of alcohol. If possible, a tulip glass would be ideal and, if not, a Burgundy red wine-style glass.
  • A brandy over 50 years old... rested and sublime enjoyment. Our Platinum brandy is the culmination of more than half a century of ageing in sherry barrels from holandas and spirits of extraordinary quality that were the result of Palomino grape distillation many years ago. This quality is reflected in the vinosity and cleanliness of its intense bouquet, while it also shows the influence of the wines previously aged in the barrels that now conserve this brandy, American oak that stored Pedro Ximénez-style wine of unparalleled quality. While enjoying this exceptional brandy, you will find toasted notes of nuts, aromatic herbs and spices, cinnamon, liquorice and tobacco. The strength of its flavour is well-known, starting out semisweet, dry and bitter at the same time. Its extraordinary length in mouth is unimaginable. This is a brandy for restful enjoyment, but combines perfectly with dark chocolate, cocoa beans and medium to strong Havana cigars. In an attempt to obtain a container worthy of the quality of this brandy, a bottle was designed following original models from the Real Fábrica de Cristal de La Granja, an institution that preserves the most traditional glass-making methods and is recognised worldwide for its cultural and artistic value, as well as for having been a supplier to the Spanish Royal Household since the eighteenth century. The development of the bottle we use and its production are exclusive to our winery, being blown and hand-carved in accordance with La Granja production standards. Each piece is unique, with sales limited to 500 bottles per year, labelled and numbered by hand.
