Concentrating the flavors and aromas of a wine can be understood as the desire of every viticulturist. Distilling its very essence is an even greater pleasure than the fermentation itself. That is why since 1948 this Brandy is considered a perfume that can be drunk.

Distilled from the wines of their House, which is part of the second phase of the aging process of the brandies they make. The first phase is the same as our TEN THOUSAND BOTTLES Brandy, from which 2,100 liters are separated each year to continue aging for 13 more years in 225-litre American Oak barrels.
Originally, once distilled from Pedro Ximénez, the extracted alcohols are aged in 750-litre Castaño wood barrels, which have been previously seasoned with our Pedro Ximénez raisin wine; the sum of Chestnut and Oak makes it very balanced. There is a perfect harmony between the sweet flavors and aromas, which the Chestnut respects, and the strong astringents that the oak inevitably brings. The final set is achieved thanks to the contribution of the Pedro Ximénez grape as raw material and the quality of the barrels that are selected for its production.
The sack from each barrel is made following sensory and organoleptic tasting criteria, but even so, the regularity year after year is so strict that it is practically impossible to distinguish one sack from a previous one. Finally, the yield is less than 100 bottles of distillate per ton of fresh grapes.
It is a brandy at sight that navigates between dark amber and not very intense mahogany, with greenish rims very typical of its prolonged aging. It does not have a density or color aspect that makes it seem heavy to the eye. Clean and bright as a result of its stabilization over the years.
In the olfactory phase, the initial alcoholic intensity typical of its 40º is shown, after a few seconds of oxygenation, gently balanced with notes of raisin, as well as memories of noble woods, cabinetry and old Solera background. Scented without tiring on the nose and pleasantly appetizing.
On the palate it is very round, pleasant, deeply velvety and with a subtle sweetness reminiscent of both the raw material and the barrels in which it has aged. The retro-nasal phase is one of absolute fullness, with a very prolonged aftertaste intensity. It reports a very long and absolutely unforgettable pleasant sensory perception.

Intense aromas of walnuts and smoked wood, with spicy notes on the nose. Long and intense finish.
Amber in color with golden hues. With a penetrating hazelnut aroma. On the palate it is dry and with body and character.
Distilling Pedro Ximénez is not easy. Extracting the nuances of the aromas from it and making them remain in a Castaño barrel seems atypical. However, the most complicated thing is to make the silkiness of the toasts and the memory of the raisins integrate with the alcohol. Here is the result.
A perfume of the most aromatic and fruity raw material. This Brandy does not need to be old, to have a very high quality. It is reminiscent of the wine from which it comes, because they look for "fruit purity" in it, instead of "old age" and that purity is evident in each sip. There is no excess of oak that hides the clean and ripe fruit from which it comes…
