Carlos I Imperial 15 Years XO Case

TASTING NOTES:

Color: The color is a deep red brown with some nuances. It looks like a very dull, elegant old rose, and degraded in some lighter shades.
Aroma: The aroma is indescribable, because it involves the perceiver in a cloud full of fruit touches. The background is a little sweet, so everything combined.
Taste: The taste is soft and strong at the same time, depends on whether you are starting to drink or not; however, the large end can perceive those intermingled. Perfect balance of acidity.
PRODUCER: Carlos Imperial I.

COUNTRY: Colombia.

PRODUCTION DETAILS: The secret lies in choosing not only the most natural ingredients for the preparation process. However, the secret is the envejecimeinto, lasting years, so that the experience can reach full power when drinking it.

Los Amigos Fino

Tasting: The wines of Pérez Barquero are not technically Sherry due to not being made in D.O. Jerez, they are ‘Sherry-style’ wines, and being made from the grape Pedro Ximénez offer a different and very interesting take on the style to the wines of Jerez. Un-fortified due to natural alcohol being high enough to not require it, dry and light, slightly bitter and pleasantly crisp, with its delightful hints of wood and dried fruit and grilled nuts.

1605 VAEZ LAND GIN, GALICIA, SPAIN
by MIGUEL GONZALEZ
Distilled in Galicia
Influenced by Australia
____________

____________

Luis Váez de Torres, Spanish Explorer and 1st recorded European navigation in 1605/6 of the strait that separates the Australian mainland from the island of New Guinea, and which now bears his name (Torres Strait). His origins were from Galicia in Spain.
 
Some other interesting things you might not be aware of. In May 1606, VAEZ and 3 other Spanish ships reached a group of islands that would later be known as the New Hebrides and Vanuatu. They named the group La Austrialia del Espiritu Santo: "Austrialia of the Holy Spirit". A morphological derivation of Austrialia,  a reference to the Austrian origins of the House of Habsburg – to which the Spanish royal family belonged. The largest island in Vanuatu is still known officially by the abbreviated form, Espiritu Santo. Along with the ancient Latin name Terra Australis. Austrialia has often been regarded as one of the bases of the name of Australia.
 
As you can see there is a lot of history between the two countries, and this is where VAEZ Gin bears its name and influence. More influence comes from the Botanicals that include Eucalyptus and Kiwi fruit, which there is an abundance found in Galicia but their origins are from the lands downunder. 

We highly recommend this Gin
