Brandy is not the preserve of the French, brandy can be made anywhere in the world, and the industry generally believes that in addition to French cognac and Armagnac, Brandy de Jerez from Spain is one of the best brandies in the world.
 
With a history of almost 250 years, Osborne is a Spanish food and alcoholic beverage giant and one of the first family businesses in the world to start selling wine. The Osberg Group owns several spirits brands, and Carlos I is the most well-known sherry brandy brand in the Osberg spirits camp.
 
In October 2018, the Tmall flagship store in Osburg China was opened, and two Carlos I Sherry Brandies were jointly launched, namely the Carlos I Sherry Brandy Grand Reserve and the Carlos I Imperial Sherry Brandy Grand Reserve. The Grand Reserve is a classification of Spanish brandy, which can be labeled Solera if it is aged for more than 6 months, Solera Reserva for more than 1 year, and Solera Gran Reserva for more than 3 years.
 
Solera refers to Spain's unique aging method - Solera System, that is, the barrels containing different vintages are stacked together, the ground floor is the oldest and the highest is the newest, and the old wine is blended with some new wines every year, which not only combines the characteristics of each vintage, but also ensures the stability of the wine.
 
Carlos I Sherry Brandy is one of the best-selling sherry brandies in the world, made from the most common Allen grapes in Spain, and finished with solera aging in sherry casks. Carlos I Sherry Brandy has a deep amber color, with obvious vanilla and cocoa aromas, a smooth and balanced taste, and is priced at only 388 yuan, which will be a good entry if you want to try the new world of brandy.
 
The Royal Sherry Brandy is the culmination of Carlos I, and some of the original wines used in the blend are more than 20 years old, and the oak barrels used for the aging have been used to age Spanish sherries such as oloroso and amontillado. The Carlos I Sherry brandy is also a blend of Solera ageing, as it is aged for longer and has a stronger woody aroma with notes of walnut, fig and hazelnut. This sherry brandy is priced at 1150 yuan.
