"Distilled from the wines of our House, which is part of the first phase of the aging process of the rest of the brandies we produce. Once distilled from Pedro Ximénez, the extracted alcohols are aged for 12 years in 750 liters Chestnut wooden casks which have been previously enveloped with our wine Pedro Ximénez. Chestnut was the basic wood used by the cooperage in Jerez before 1939, the particularity of Chestnut is that it is a wood that does not provide excessive astringent notes. Its flavours and aromas are basically of oxidation, being so respectful with the original product that it even helps to preserve the aromatic and gustatory memory of the Pedro Ximénez grape itself."
In the mouth it maintains a serene balance, allowing the quality of the original aged wine distillate to be appreciated. Subtle aftertaste of natural sweetness that helps smoothing the alcoholic edges, making them almost imperceptible. It keeps intense touches of an enveloping wood that does not add bitterness and makes it especially pleasant to the palate. It invites you to keep on drinking because it doesn't burn in your throat either, despite its 40% alcohol content.
Only 10,000 bottles made.
"Made the old way distilling Pedro Ximénez is not easy. Extracting the nuances of its aromas and making them remain in a Castaño barrel, it seems atypical. However, the most difficult thing is to make the silkiness of the toasts and the memory of the raisins integrate with the alcohol. Here is the result. José Antonio Zarzana." - Winegrower.
