Made from local Catalan grapes using a column still. Malty, caramel, biscuits and toffee with a floral edge. Nice sweet brandy - though less sweet than some Brandy de Jerez - which would be lovely alongside an espresso.

I've had this bottle for years, I remember it hot when I tasted it upon opening. I immediately tried again through an aerator, and enjoyed it. Now every time I've had it since it is very VSOP cognac reminiscent. I would put this well above average for an aged brandy, and highly recommend to any incredulously age statement American brandy or VS cognac quaffer's. And yes I get a touch of cinnamon.

Jólasmakk Eðalklúbbsins 2018 (Marbakkabraut 12): Samanborið við Ximenesinn þá var þetta mjög hrjúft og stóð því langt að baki. Hér voru miklu meiri sætindi í boði. Karamella og kaffi í ilminum. Skemmtilegur ilmur. Miklu dekkra á litinn heldur en síðasta brandí. Alls ekki slæmt en það var bara búið að stilla stönginni hátt upp með fyrsta brandíinu.

As good as it always it. Go to affordable Spanish Brandy. Always worth having a bottle or two in the cellar.

Always decent. Classic style, raisins and dates. Nice aged character though not especially long. Reliable.
