Carlos I Imperial XO

Product Description

The Carlos I Imperial XO Brandy is an exquisite blend of selected brandies, created in the mid 20th century to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of Carlos I. At the apex of the spectacular Carlos I selection of Spanish brandies sits their Imperial XO expression. Aged in a Solera system featuring casks that previously held Oloroso and Amontillado Sherries, this expression has been made using brandies that have age for up to 20 years!
