Product Description ------------------- CARLOS I IMPERIAL · BRANDY DE JEREZ SOLERA GRAN RESERVA The history of Carlos I brandies dates back to 1889, when a cellermaster in Jerez discovered some mysterious casks in a corner of his cellar. Neither he nor anyone else knew where they came from, but he immediately realized they contained the finest brandy he had ever tasted. ""A brandy to conquer the world"" he thought. And that is why he named it after the Spanish King, Carlos I. Since then, all our brandies are made using the unparalleled Criaderas and Solera system in which young brandies are mixed with more mature blends. Production and ageing: Carlos I Imperial is the result of more than 230 years of tradition and know-how. It was created in the middle of the 20th Century to commemorate 400 years since the death of Carlos I. It is an exquisite blend of the most revered brandies, some of which have aged for more than 20 years in oak casks that previously contained Olorosos and Amontillados, the most highly prized sherries. The exclusive and artisanal system of ageing in criaderas and soleras, ensures its extraordinary quality and aromatic complexity. Awards: Gold Medal at 2021 'World Spirits Awards'.
