The Carlos I 1520 Brandy de Jerez Solera Gran Reserva is an outstanding bottling from the historic Osborne distillery, a Spanish family-run business founded in Cádiz in 1772 and renowned since its inception for its exquisite brandy. The brandy’s name pays homage to King Carlos I of Spain and reflects the heritage and history of the Jerez region, which is famous worldwide for its sherries and brandies.

The creation of this brandy was originally a happy accident: in 1886, the Osborne family’s cellar master at the time discovered a forgotten grape distillate that had matured in old sherry casks. Thanks to the long ageing period and the influence of the sherry, the distillate developed an exceptionally smooth and multi-faceted flavour profile.

Carlos I Brandy is a blend of various centuries-old Soleras, sourced from the family’s private casks, and is matured using the traditional Solera method. With an alcohol content of 41.1% vol., this brandy unfolds a complex bouquet with a perfect balance of fruity, woody and spicy notes.
