| A modern expression of the heroic strength and courage shown by the Gran Duque de Alba, Don Fernando Alvarez de Toledo, Grand Duke of the Regiment of Flanders. The firm of Williams & Humbert dates back to 1877, when Alexander Williams entered his father-in-law's family wine business. Although the main branch was based in London, the company also owned bodegas in Jerez de la Frontera. The firm eventually expanded to worldwide export of their premium sherries and brandies. Today, it is owned by Royal Bols Wessanen N.V., and Luis Páez S.A. The brand Gran Duque de Alba was acquired in 1993. The pale bottle of Gran Duque de Alba Solera Gran Reserva has an unusual, voluptuous shape. On the center of the label, circled in gold, is a portrait of the famous Duke. Tasting Notes: Mahogany color with gold highlights. Complex bouquet of oak, prune and sherry. Velvety texture with flavors of caramel, chocolate and orange, with a long finish |

| An authentic Solera Gran Reserva with a smooth, distinctive taste, for which only the best wine grapes have been selected. Salvador Dalí himself designed the bottle for this top-of-the-range product. |

| With the passing of time the elegant, round overtones of oak are fused, in close harmony with the strong spirituous aroma of venerable distillates that give character to Torres 10, Gran Reserva. Dark topaz-coloured, with fine old gold tints. Of strong aroma, it displays an intense bouquet - more spiritual than spirituous - with warm hints of spices (cinnamon, vanilla). On the palate it is round and rich in tannins, developing towards a lush and lingering aftertaste. |

| Description
This delicate fragrant orange liqueur is made to an original formula, created in the 19th century by the Torres family. Selected Valencia oranges and aged brandies are used to make it. Orange peel is macerated in brandy and the mixture is flavoured with wild aromatic herbs and orange blossom honey. Tasting Notes Due to its special preparation, Gran Torres is a distinctive contrast to traditional liqueurs and resembles more a mellow brandy, ennobled with subtle, spicy overtones and pleasant aromas of Mediterranean oranges. |
