The Torres 30 Jaime I. Spanish Brandy features an incredible blend of some of their old stocks, including some made using Parellada grapes (which they use in the Torres 10) which has been aged further for occasions like this. It also includes spirit made with Folle Blanche grapes and distilled in 1972. Very handsomely presented, too, of course.
Deep and inviting with layers of dried fig, sultana, and stewed plum, backed by toasted oak, vanilla pod, and a touch of cigar box. There’s a nutty richness running through it, think walnut and almond, alongside a hint of dark chocolate and sweet spice.
Velvety with a wave of raisin, date, and caramelised orange peel. The oak brings structure with clove, cinnamon, and a little leather, while softer notes of toffee, cocoa, and roasted nuts round things out.
Dried fruit, gentle spice, and a soft, slightly smoky oak dryness that keeps you coming back for another sip.
I love Spanish brandy and Carlos is one of my all time favourites but I've never heard of Torres but I'm sure even if I buy this and it's a poke in the dark it will be nice, of cause it would be a GREAT help if the good folk a master of malt could contact me so I can compare notes over the solera ages brandies and grape types other wise it could be a hit or miss rather like a poke in the dark ! Urrghhrummm ppl at master of malt.......help needed !!!!
