Carlos I Solera Gran Reserva is distilled in traditional pot stills, & aged using the solera system, famous for sherry production, in American oak barrels previously used to age amontillado & oloroso sherry. The average age is around 10 years. The intense dark amber colour is the prelude to an intense bouquet, with aromas of sweet pastry, vanilla & spicy oak. The palate is very elegant, with notes of liquorice.
