From sunny Spain, the Cardenal Mendoza Solera Gran Reserva is aged using the Solera system, which they say produces a brandy with an average age of 15 years. We like to think there might have been a time where someone misheard their manager and aged the brandy next to a stack of Solero ice-creams, but, we fear this is probably unlikely.

Absolutely stellar brandy! Bought this a while ago for a brandy tasting I was hosting and it was the large favorite. It beat out a grande champagne cognac and an XO armagnac (both way more expensive). It's extremely sophisticated, well aged, and has a very rich nose and taste of dried fruit, nuts, and spice. Very moreish! What more could you ask for? For this price (an excellent value), it is simply impossible to even come close with any other brandy because it is so well balanced and rich in flavours. A must have for any brandy lover.
My favorite Spanish Brandy.
Best I've ever tasted,smooth rich flavor; not raspy on the way down. Make an excellent: "España en llamas".
The review below is inaccurate; the brandy is dark and rick with raisin and nut notes - but this comes from ageing in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks (I have had a personal tour of the bodega).
This is an amazing brandy, dark and flavoured with sherry from olorosso casks.
