Lustau Solera Reserva Brandy

Aged for three years in used Amontillado Sherry casks, this is a classic solera-aged brandy de Jerez. The rich, beautiful notes of vanilla extract, roasted nuts, black strap molasses, grilled apricots, and caramel are solid and sustained on the nose while the palate is dry, oaky, and focused with additional notes of new leather, and crème brúleé, finishing with flavors of fried bananas and nutmeg. This is highly mixable as well, and no doubt one of the best brandy values in the world from a historic producer.
