Description
The Carlos I Imperial X.O. Solera Gran Reserva Brandy de Jerez (pronounced Carlos Primero) is an exceptional brandy from the famous Jerez region in Spain, which embodies the true essence of this traditional, high-class drink with an alcohol content of 40% vol. The Carlos I Imperial X.O. is matured using the solera method, which is at home in sherry production. This unique ageing process ensures a profound complexity, which is particularly enhanced by the ageing in old barrels previously used for sherry.
The Carlos I Imperial X.O. is a Gran Reserva, which means that this brandy has matured for at least 12 years in oak barrels, giving it an unmistakable depth and elegance. It comes in a high-quality gift box (GB), making it a perfect gift for brandy lovers and connoisseurs.
With its exclusive maturation, complex aroma and high quality, the Carlos I Imperial X.O. Solera Gran Reserva Brandy de Jerez is a real treat for anyone who appreciates the art of brandy making. An unmistakable brandy for special moments and celebrations! (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Color: Dark mahogany with golden reflections.
Nose: A complex bouquet of dried fruit, nuts, toffee and a fine oak spice. Aromas of vanilla and spicy notes complement the complexity of the fragrance and give the brandy an elegant depth.
Taste: Full-bodied and round, with rich fruitiness of plums and raisins, mixed with caramel and spicy notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and a light oak note. The taste is wonderfully balanced and smooth, which is supported by the long maturation in sherry casks.
Finish: Long-lasting and warm with a fine oak spiciness and a pleasant sweetness that carries on the fruit flavor and the warm caramel notes.
The Carlos I Imperial X.O. is ideal for drinking straight, ideally at room temperature, to fully enjoy the complex aromas. A drop of water or an ice cube can be used to open up the flavors if desired.
This brandy is an excellent accompaniment to mature cheeses, especially Manchego or Comté, as well as dark chocolate, coffee desserts or caramel specialties. Carlos I Imperial X.O. also brings out its spicy notes and complexity with grilled meat or BBQ dishes. (automated translation)
