Carlos I is part of the Osborne Group, a 100% family business founded in 1772 in el Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz. Today it is among the oldest and most prestigious wine and brandy making companies in Spain. Its quality has been honored over time with numerous awards and accolades reserved only for the highest category of products worldwide, such as the Brandy Producer of the Year at the International Spirits Challenge 2020.
This bottling undergoes a distinctive double-aging process. The brandy first spends four years in casks that previously held Osborne's own Amontillado and Oloroso sherries, some of which had matured those wines for more than fifty years. It then moves into century-old butts from the house's PX Viejo Solera, founded in 1905, for a final year of maturation, absorbing the concentrated sweetness of one of Osborne's most decorated Pedro Ximénez sherries.
The result is mahogany in color with intense reddish reflections. The nose shows caramelized oak, toasted cocoa nibs, and black liquorice, harmonizing with sultanas and fig bread from the PX casks. The palate turns velvety, closing on a long finish marked by caramelized oak and raisin.
