In the Glass
Appearance
Brilliant, beautiful dark amber color.
Aromatics
The aromatics offer incredibly rich and decadent raisins, figs, and dates that are swimming in thick honey and sweet Sherry.
Flavor
The palate echoes the nose delivering a luxurious fruit-driven core with supporting notes of treacle, spice cake, caramel, liquid toffee, with subtle hints of dark chocolate.
Intensity & Texture
Full-bodied and absolutely extravagant delivering a sumptuous texture with incredible length that somehow never becomes too sweet.
Cool Factor
Brandy de Jerez is scandalously under appreciated in this nation. Great examples like this offer incredibly unique and complex flavors with class and panache.
Value Grade
Considering the incredible quality and the unmistakable pleasure this is a pretty good buy in the world of Brandy.
Analysis
How to Enjoy
Serve in a Brandy glass with nothing at all. While I'm a big believer that "you bought it — you drink it as you like", the subtle flavors of this wonderful spirit will be lost if you add ice.
