在赫雷斯的 González Byass 酒莊中，San Gabriel 酒窖靜謐無聲，Soberano Gran Reserva 白蘭地在此耐心陳釀，體現了西班牙工藝的精髓。這款獨特的白蘭地採用傳統的 "Criaderas and Solera" 方法陳釀 12 年，這是一種歷史悠久的釀造體系，將年輕的白蘭地與更成熟的白蘭地巧妙調和，形成一致豐富和諧的風味特徵。

Soberano 12 的旅程始於西班牙拉曼恰地區陽光普照的葡萄園中的 Airén 葡萄。這些葡萄在位於 Ciudad Real 托梅洛索的 González Byass 酒廠，使用最先進的銅質和不鏽鋼蒸餾塔進行精心蒸餾。在此過程中，大師級釀酒師會仔細挑選蒸餾液的中心部分，也就是被稱為 holandas 或 "aguardientes" 的部分，以其芳香的複雜性、帶有水果、花朵和香料的氣息而備受讚譽。

這些 holandas 隨後被運送到位於安達盧西亞赫雷斯的 González Byass 歷史悠久的酒廠，在那裡開始了它們向 Soberano 12 轉變的過程。烈酒被置於莊嚴的 600 升美國橡木桶中陳釀，每個橡木桶都浸滿了至少三年前的雪莉酒精華。當白蘭地與木桶和雪莉酒的殘留物相互作用時，它在 12 年的歲月中形成了其標誌性的濃郁色澤、香氣和味道。

最終，這款白蘭地的優雅無與倫比，深邃的桃花心木色中點綴著濃郁的琥珀色和銅色調。在鼻腔中，Soberano 12 既濃烈又複雜，巧妙地將橡木、漆木、堅果和焦糖的香氣與香脂味道以及溫和、烘烤的特徵交織在一起。口感圓潤、味道豐富，異常順滑，最後帶來強烈而精緻的餘味，久久縈繞在感官中。

Soberano 12 Years Sherry Cask Gran Reserva Brandy 是西班牙烈酒製作深厚的專注和技藝的見證，每一口都帶來溫暖奢華的飲酒體驗，將鑑賞家的感官帶到安達魯西亞的中心。品嚐它的純飲或搭配精緻菜餚，舉杯向 Soberano 的藝術致敬。

In the serene stillness of the San Gabriel cellar at the González Byass bodega in Jerez, Soberano Gran Reserva brandy patiently matures, embodying the epitome of Spanish craftsmanship. This exceptional brandy is aged for 12 years using the traditional 'Criaderas and Solera' method, a time-honored system where younger brandies are artfully blended with their more mature counterparts, resulting in a consistently rich and harmonious flavor profile.

The journey of Soberano 12 begins with the Airén grape, cultivated in the sun-drenched vineyards of Spain's La Mancha region. The grapes are meticulously distilled in state-of-the-art copper and steel column stills at the González Byass distillery in Tomelloso, Ciudad Real. During this process, the Master Distiller carefully selects only the heart of the distillate, known as holandas or "aguardientes," prized for their aromatic complexity, with hints of fruit, flowers, and spice.

These holandas are then transported to the historic González Byass wineries in Jerez, Andalusia, where they begin their transformation into Soberano 12. The spirit is left to age in stately 600-liter American oak casks, each imbued with the essence of Sherry wine from at least three years prior. As the brandy interacts with the wood and the remnants of the Sherry, it develops its signature rich color, aroma, and flavor over the course of 12 patient years.

The result is a brandy of unparalleled elegance, with a deep mahogany hue adorned with intense amber and copper tones. On the nose, Soberano 12 is both intense and complex, masterfully weaving together aromas of oak, lacquer, nuts, and caramel with balsamic notes and a hint of mellow, roasted character. The palate is round, flavorful, and exceptionally velvety, culminating in an intense and refined finish that lingers on the senses.

Soberano 12 Years Sherry Cask Gran Reserva Brandy is a testament to the profound dedication and skill of Spanish spirit-making, offering a warm and luxurious drinking experience that transports the connoisseur to the heart of Andalusia with every sip. Savor it neat, or paired with fine cuisine, and raise a glass to the artistry of Soberano.
