Portrait: what makes the Gran Duque d'Alba Oro so special.

Bodegas Williams & Humbert is a major player in the sherry and brandy industry. 

Founded in 1877 by Alexander Williams and Arthur Humbert, the company is now in the second generation of the Medina family. 

Williams & Humbert is the largest bodega in Europe under one roof and contains over 50,000 American oak barrels for aging sherry, brandy and rum.

Dry, full-bodied white wines from the Airen grape variety are the basis for the production of Gran Duque de Alba.  ;

They are slowly distilled in stills to an alcohol content of 60-65% vol. distilled.

Only these high-quality "Holandas" are used in the solera of the Gran Duque de Alba. 

Only a few barrels contain the ancient distillates for this extraordinary brandy. Gran Duque D'Alba Oro is therefore only available in strictly limited quantities. The average age of the brandy is over 20 years.
