Distiller Notes
2019 & 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold Medal Winner
Torres 20 is the most award-winning brandy in the Torres Portfolio. Chosen for several years as the Best Brandy in the World at contests like the International Wine & Spirit Competition.
Made from Parellada and Ugni Blanc grapes, Torres 20 is double distilled and aged in French oak barrels. A deep, warm aroma with hints of dried fruits and nuts. It exhibits elegant hints of spices such as vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Intensely velvety on the tongue. A smooth finish with a subtle fine oak undertone.
Taking its name from the Dutch term, brandewijn, for burnt or cooked wine, in the broadest sense of the term, Brandy is any liquor made from the distillation of fruit wine. Though any kind of fruit may be used, wine grapes are the most common. Clear Brandy, commonly referred to as Eau de Vie, is unaged and bottled directly after distillation. Finer grape-based Brandies are often aged in oak barrels for anywhere from two years (VS) to six years (XO) or longer, gradually gaining color and complexity as they interact with the wood.
