All Ximénez-Spínola brandies are distilled from their Pedro-Ximénez wines, which makes them so special. In fact, most brandies from Jerez are either from Airén wines or Palomino wines. In addition, the élevage at Ximénez-Spínola is truly unprecedented. All this gives the brandies a unique style, particularly complex but at the same time very accessible. Pur plaisir.

Trial analysis
Nice brown colour. Grape, raisin and plum aromas - typical of Brandy casks.
Well-balanced - the alcohol is never overwhelming. Nice salty notes and a soft, round finish.
