Lepanto O.v. Solera Gran Reserva Brandy

This is one of the few brands of Brandy de Jerez that is actually distilled in Jerez (most others are just aged there). As is typical the brandy is aged in a solera system. This bottling uses 15 different criaderas (nurseries of soleras) that have brandies aged for over 12 years in American oak ex-sherry (in this case Tio Pepe Fino Sherry). The brandy is removed from the solera and then further aged an additional 3 years in very old ex-Oloroso Apostoles & Matusalem sherry. Note this review is for the 80 proof but outside of the US you will find 72 proof bottlings. 40% ABV
