Carlos I

Lying at the southernmost tip of Europe, in Andalusia, is the Jerez region of Spain. From this special microclimate, which is bordered by two rivers and the Atlantic Ocean, come the special brandies influenced by the wind and water of this very specific area. Carlos I, produced by Osborne, is a fine example of the brandies that Jerez has to offer.

Founded in 1772, Osborne uses a special ageing system to ensure that the aromas and flavours of older wines can develop and mix with those of the younger. This means that history is mixed together in every bottle. This Criaderas and Solera ageing system sees the more mature Solera distillates added to the younger Criaderas distillates to create the character and personality of Carlos I. To create the distillates themselves, Airén and Palomino grapes are aged in the best American oak casks after being distilled in old pot stills.

This beautiful amber brandy shines with glints of gold in the glass. Try it on the rocks and enjoy its persistent, deep, and complex flavour with hints of vanilla, cocoa, and orange. If you are so inclined, Carlos I is also perfect for mixing in cocktails. The perfect accompaniment for rich desserts, it can also be delicious with strong cheeses, venison, and fish.
