Spanish Brandy
It's too bad I caught a bad cold in Spain and was a bit off my plan of tasting great quantities of quality brandy. The Corte Ingles supermercado in Madrid had such a great selection and great prices that I ended up doing all my buying for home there. My choices were : Torres 20 Años "Hors D'Age" Solera Gran Reserva @ €29.95 Conde de Osborne Solera Gran Reserva @ €24.55 Cardenal Cisneros Solera Reserva @ €7.95 !! Thanks to Doug (Jazznut) and Nino (Flyingcigar) for the shopping tips. I also got a chance to drink a selection of other brandies with my afternoon and evening puros, including : Carlos I Solera Gran Reserva Osbourne Magno Solera Reserva Osbourne Veterano Solera Reserva Most of these brandies were provided by happy colleagues (and Peter, the bartender) to whom I had given gifts of tasty Cuban cigars. The cost of brandy @ the bar was low enough that I ended up behind on cost of cigars but way ahead on good will and comradeship. Few bevies go as well with a fine Habano. All in all a great brandy experience and one I'd like to repeat with clear nose and lung. Commander Bob And don't get me started about the JAMON! |
