Brilliant amber color. Sweet spicy rhubarb pie aromas. A smooth entry leads to an off-dry round light-to medium-bodied palate with chocolate, anise, and dried strawberry flavors. Finishes with a wave of peppery brown spices and dark caramel.

Fundador Brandy, by Pedro Domecq is made at the oldest bodega in Jerez, dating back to the 1730s. It is aged using the traditional Solera system in used sherry barrels which give it its dark golden color. Slightly sweet, this brandy is well-priced considering its refinement.

A subtle, nutty, complex Spanish brandy offering up notes of coffee and sherried peels.

Torres Jaime Reserva de La Familia Spanish brandy has received countless accolades including gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the International Spirits Challenge. The 30 on the bottle refers to the average age of brandies used in the blend and the spirit is named in honor of the distiller's founder, Jaime Torres Vendrell. While several varieties of grapes are used to produce this delicious dram, the majority comes from the Parellada grape, a regional variety that Bodega Torres is known for. Rich and aromatic, the secret of the blend lies in the excellent parent brandies chosen from the winery. Packed in a sculpturally twisted decanter, this artistic display is inspired by the twisted stone spires featured at the top of Casa Mila.
