Fundador Spanish Brandy, 70cl

Product Information

In early 2015, the brand was estimated to have a 97% share of the brandy market and a 50% share of the overall spirits market in the Philippines (population 100 million), and a 73% share of the spirits market in Manila. [3] Fundador was the first brand of brandy in Spain and it still lives on today, even though Domecq was sold At Fundador we are finally reclaiming and highlighting a treasure that other categories, such as the best Single Malt Whiskies in the world, discovered and have been using for a long time, that is, refining or finalizing the aging process of the liquid with sherry casks that have previously contained sherry wine. These casks are unique in the world, and it is in the Marco de Jerez where "the magic" has to happen." All Cognacs are brandies, but not all brandies are Cognacs. Cognac is a type of brandy made from distilled white wine in the Cognac region of France. Brandy can be made with any type of fruit and can come from any region.

Fundador Fine Solera Sherry Casks Spanish Brandy, 1L

Mouth: some vague fruits again, maybe a hint of apricot. Now there’s a slightly rough edge to it, plain alcohol and a plankish kind of woodiness. Fades into caramel flavours, a hint of toffee and light mocha. The finish is quite short and rough, with lingering caramel. Argonaut’s blend is made from a blend of eight different pot and Coffey still brandies ranging from two to 16 years in age, all left to rest in old bourbon oak barrels. It sips with a rich mouthfeel and gives off caramelized pear, toasted oak, nutmeg, and vanilla notes.Brandy varies wildly based on where it's made. If a bottle comes from Cognac, you can expect more nuanced, elevated flavors; Cognac is required to undergo a specific aging process, hence the price tag. Calvados, on the other hand, is sweeter and fruitier than Cognac. Bottles from Spain will often lean on Spanish wine grapes or sherry processes, while Bolivian brandy is clear and fruity. Fundador Sherry Cask Solera is the updated version of the brand's icon, to revitalize and premiumize the category after more than 40 years of success. An unprecedented launch that will be available in such important markets as the United Kingdom, Italy, Mexico and the United States, as well as Spain. Popular in Asia, primarily in the Philippines and the Middle East, Emperador secured the top spot in an article in The Spirits Business in 2016 after making its sales figures available to the publication for the first time. [2] Awards [ edit ] Brandy is an English adaptation of the original Dutch word “brandewijn” (burnt wine) whilst the term holanda (name given to wine spirits of low alcoholic content used in the production of Brandy de Jerez) is derived from the name of the country to which most of the exports were destined: Holland. The term 'brandavin' was already in use in picaresque literature of the 17th Century, as can be seen in “The Life and Works of Estebanillo González, man of good humour”. In the early 19th century English and French merchants began to arrive in Jerez and, together with Spanish traders with clear commercial instincts, promoted trade and laid down the guidelines for the characteristic production and ageing process of Brandy de Jerez. After acquiring Bodega San Bruno in Jerez, Spain, the brand introduced an Emperador Deluxe variant in 2013. The brand saw a 7.6% reduction of sales by volume in 2015, but maintained its volume above 30 million cases (270 million liters), a level it has held since 2012. [2] [3]

[ dead link] Brandy de Jerez Solera — Is the youngest, with a minimum average age of 6 months and a volatile content greater than 150mg. per 100 cc. pure alcohol So, Fundador is a brand with a lot of history, but nowadays also a very high-volume producer with different ages and different levels of quality under one umbrella, I would say. Currently they produce a whole range of Fundador brandies, from light spirit drinks (which don’t follow the regulations of the D.O. Brandy de Jerez) over the classic Fundador Solera and double matured versions to the Fundador Supremo series which includes 12, 15 and 18 year-old expressions matured in different types of sherry casks. There’s also a Solera Gran Reserva Fundador Exclusivo. In 2010, Emperador Light was introduced with lower alcohol content and was targeted to younger alcoholic beverage consumers. Emperador Light sales were bolstered by a "Gawin mong Light" campaign launched in 2011. [2] Sales increased significantly after that, rising from 57 million liters in 2009 to nearly 300 million liters in 2015. [3] The label of the Light variation identifies the product as " Premium BRANDY Liqueur", rather than simply "brandy". This indicates that the product is a liqueur containing flavorings, sweeteners, and neutral spirits alcohol made from sugarcane, in addition to brandy. [ citation needed] Brandy is a distilled spirit made by fermenting and distilling fruit. Different styles of brandy call for different fruit. Calvados, for instance, uses apples, while Cognac typically calls for ugni blanc grapes.

Nose: fruitcake notes with a slight pungency of oak spices. It’s smooth with no rough edges but on the other hand there’s little to get excited about. Complexity is fairly low. Since 2006, it has been the world's top-selling brand of brandy in terms of quantity of brandy sold. [1] Annual sales in 2015 amounted to 275 million liters. [2] [3] However, by international standards, the Emperador Light expression (introduced in 2010) is considered a "cut brandy" rather than a true brandy, as it contains neutral spirits alcohol made from sugar cane.

The brandy must have been produced exclusively within the municipal boundaries of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. the traditional pot still which in Jerez is called an alquitara – introduced by the Moors - made of copper and heated directly by a holm-oak wood fire using a discontinuous process (loading and unloading). These are used to obtain spirits of low alcoholic content, between 40° and 70°. Holandas is the term used in Jerez to refer to these wine spirits low in alcoholic content, which are of greater quality as they require the distillation of the best of wines and better evoke the raw material from which they are produced.Aside from Cognac brandy made in the south west of France, there's also Armagnac brandy, which comes from just a little further south than the Cognac region. When we think of brandy, we sometimes think of old men sipping it neat from a decorated glass tumbler while puffing on a chunky cigar. In 1990, Emperador Brandy was launched as Philippines' first brandy label. Emperador Brandy has since started to expand its brand footprint outside the Philippines. It holds its position as the world's largest "cut brandy" by volume and it is now being distributed in 40 countries throughout Asia, North America, Africa, Middle East, and Europe. [ citation needed]
