Gran Duque de Alba Solera Gran Reserva Holiday Gift Box: Perfect for the Brandy Aficionado
A luxury gift for the brandy aficionado is
Gran Duque de Alba Solera Gran Reserva, the world's top-rated Brandy de
Jerez from Spain. This holiday season a special gift box will be available
containing a bottle of Gran Duque de Alba and a glass snifter. Retail
pricing averages $49.99.
Gran Duque de Alba is an ultra smooth premium brandy aged 12 years in oak
casks under Spain's time honored solera system of fractional blending. The
result is a rich mahogany spirit with aromas of toasted nuts, caramel,
vanilla, dark fruit and spice with a smooth after taste. Gran Duque de Alba
was awarded gold medals this year from both the San Francisco International
Spirits Competition and the Beverage Testing Institute.
Brandy de Jerez is one of only three place-specific appellations for
brandy, the others being Cognac and Armagnac in France. The D.O. of Jerez
is closely controlled by a Consejo Regulador (regulatory council) to ensure
that strict production and ageing processes are met to make the finest
brandy in the world.
"Gran Duque De Alba has enjoyed extremely high ratings from top wines and
spirits experts," said Abbey Glaser, Director of Marketing for Kindred
Spirits of North America, importer for Gran Duque de Alba. "This is an
indulgent gift for anyone who wants to make a statement and who enjoys a
fine sipping spirit."
The distinguished bottle with a photograph of the Duke of Flanders on the
label and an elegant red wax seal was designed by renowned ceramic artist
Antoni Cumella. For an even richer experience, Gran Duque de Alba Oro
Solera Gran Reserva is an ultra premium brandy aged a minimum of 25 years
through seven separate soleras. Average retail price averages $150/bottle.
