Its quality has been honored over time with numerous prizes and awards reserved only for the highest category products worldwide, such as the?Brandy Producer of the Year 2020, International Spirits Challenge.
Elaboration of Carlos I
The elaboration of Carlos I begins with the careful?selection of the best grapes?with which the wines to be distilled are made.?Distillation?is carried out by hand, discontinuously, in copper stills?with a capacity of 5,000 liters and in stills of 2,500 liters, all located in Osborne own distillery.?The fact that they are made of copper means a slower process and lower yield in distillation.?This discontinuous distillation implies separating the fractions of distillate that are of lower quality, called heads and tails, and only keeping the central part of the distillation, the heart, called holanda, which is the highest quality component and will be the base of Carlos?I.
This is the only way we get?the most precious, fine and delicate distillate: extracting the most select holandas?and with the perfect aroma to spray the criaderas and slowly age the brandy in our American oak casks.

Inside the cathedrals, the precious?liquids of Carlos I age slowly?in the same American oak casks where?the most select Amontillados and Olorosos wines from Jerez?, known worldwide as?“Sherry Casks”, did.?The average age of Osborne casks is approximately 50 to 60 years?, of which they have spent?more than 20 years aging Jerez wines.?Thus, the brandy is aged with the?nuances and aromas?provided by these precious wines, forging a unique and inimitable personality.
Art and skill are combined in the?dynamic system of Criaderas and Soleras.?The expert hand of their?master blender, Marcos Alguacil?, wisely mixes the aged distillates of the solera, incorporating young distillates with fresh aromas from the criaderas, thus defining the personality and character of Carlos I.
This?dynamic aging?favors the assembly of the different aromatic components that develop, thus achieving an incomparable harmony of flavors.
