This brandy, typical of the Jerez style, shows nice influences from Fino and Oloroso sherry casks and is stated as 12 years old. The 36% ABV for the European market is a bit weak and on the low side; it is bottled at 40% ABV for the USA. Dangerously smooth.

About this bottle
Lepanto brandies are all distilled and aged in Jerez, with many aging exclusively in that location. This particular brandy is distilled from Palomino grapes and matures in a solera system that previously held Tio Pepe fino sherry, with an average age of 9 years. Subsequently, the brandy undergoes an additional 3 years of aging in ex-Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks.

Very good. It has aromas of berries and toffee, with baking spices following on the palate.
