Elaboration starts with a careful selection of wines that we distill in our own distillery, founded in 1880, where we integrate the best from the past with modern techniques. Only the most refined and elegant spirits are used to craft Carlos I. Obtained through the traditional and artesian Arab method of copper pot still, Alquitaras, to achieve an eaux-de-vie of unique finesse. This hand–crafted process is utilized only by the most exclusive cognacs. Carlos I Solera was founded in 1889 with a special blend of the finest and most elegant eaux-de-vie. Aged in American oak casks previously seasoned with our premium Amontillado and Oloroso Sherry wines through the unique Solera system. Notes of vanilla and caramel that gradually, over years, soften to give us a delicate crème brûlée nuance and a mellow, sublime Brandy.
