The Carlos I Imperial X.O. Solera Gran Reserva Brandy de Jerez is a premium Spanish Brandy de Jerez from Osborne, whose character is defined by an exceptionally long ageing process. For this prestigious bottling, carefully selected brandy cuvées are blended together, having matured for more than 20 years in the cellars of Bodegas Osborne. The Solera method, characteristic of Brandy de Jerez, is used in this process; it combines distillates at different stages of maturation, resulting in a harmonious and complex style over the years. Casks that previously contained Oloroso and Amontillado sherry also play a key role, lending the brandy additional depth and its typical Andalusian character.


At 40 per cent ABV, the Carlos I Imperial XO is presented in a 0.7-litre bottle with a gift box and is one of the longest-aged varieties in the Carlos I range. The combination of brandy cuvées aged for over 20 years, the traditional Solera system and ageing in former sherry casks is at the heart of this Solera Gran Reserva. Behind Carlos I stands the long-established Spanish company Osborne, whose history dates back to 1772 and which is closely linked to the wine and spirits tradition of Andalusia. Thanks to its long ageing period, meticulous blending and high-quality gift packaging, the Carlos I Imperial X.O. Brandy de Jerez is ideal both for connoisseurs of Spanish brandies and as a prestigious gift.
