Garvey Espléndido Brandy (70cl)

Garvey Espléndido is a brandy from the sherry house of Garvey, founded in 1780 by William Garvey, an Irish aristocrat. It is aged in the traditional Criaderas and Soleras system, in which different vintages are blended until the right age is reached, here nine months. In the glass it is a clear amber. The aroma is clean and persistent, and the palate is velvety with lightly bitter notes of wood from the cask ageing. It suits being served lightly chilled, at 10 to 15°C, after a meal. It also works in mixed drinks, and goes well with sweet dishes or dried fruit.
