Complexity and Aroma: Gran Duque d’Alba Oro

Incredibly dense in aromas – oak, vanilla pod, dark chocolate, raisins – the complexity and aroma are apparent in the very first mouthful. The tangy-sweet texture of an Aurora 100 Anos Edición Especial brings out the fruity sweetness of the brandy and ensures a sated feeling in the mouth.

The Solera der Bodega is over 100 years old, and some of this Solera can be found in this jewel. Incredibly dense in aromas – oak, vanilla pod, dark chocolate, raisins – the complexity and aroma are apparent in the very first mouthful. Thick stewed plums, a marked aromatic and bitter fruity sweetness with a good portion of tannin, demanding an equally aromatic cigar.

The tangy-sweet texture of an La Aurora 100 Anos Edición Especial brings out the fruity sweetness of the brandy and ensures a sated feeling in the mouth.

Give yourself time for this special experience.
