Gran Duque de Alba Description

Founded in 1877 by two British brothers-in-law, Alexander Williams and Arthur Humbert, Willams & Humbert signature brands are Dry Sack Sherry, Gran Duque De Alba Brandy, and Dos Maderas Rum. Over the years, the company has grown to more than 1,200 acres of vineyards in Jerez and to include the largest bodega in Europe, with capacity for 60,000 casks of sherry and brandy. Brandy de Jerez is one of only three place-specific appellations for brandy, the others being Cognac and Armagnac in France and Gran Duque de Alba is the world's number one Solera Gran Reserva Spanish brandy. Gran Duque D?Alba was first launched in 1945 and named for the Great Duke of Alba, Fernando ?lvarez de Toledo y Pimentel, an important historic history responsible for ennobling the House of Alba. Today, Gran Duque D?Alba is known for exceptional brandies made in the traditional Solera method. The Gran Duque d?Alba Gran Reserva Brandy de Jerez was aged under the Solera System for over 12 years in Sherry infused American oak casks. We absolutely adore this Spanish brandy. Complex aromas of oak, old leather books, tobacco, prune and sherry, this is medium-dry, smooth and full-bodied on the palate with hints of vanilla, caramel, chocolate, and orange, with a long finish. Serve neat or over ice ? a true delight!

Wine Enthusiast: 96-100 Points

The fabulous bouquet offers aromas of old leather, old books, toasted marshmallow, pipe tobacco and deep scents of prune Danish. Entry is luscious, ripe and sweet but not cloying; the midpalate is concentrated, fruity, Sherry-like and caramelized. Concludes balanced and honeyed. A masterpiece.
