This move was due to the high quality of our brandy and the warmth and enthusiasm with which it was received everywhere.
There is also a story around the brandy: Before producing the 1851 brand, we had been manufacturing different brandy’s such as “Madelon” “Jaime I”, “1229” (highly sought after by collectors nowadays).
In 1951, while commemorating our one hundred years of existence in Mallorca and being aware of the excellent quality of our brandy, we launched the brandy commonly know as “El barquito”. Thanks to devoting many years to countless quality tests, we can proudly claim that our brand´s Private Reserve, in less than 50 years has become a flagship of the Majorcan identity. And as a sailboat represents an extending of voyages, it is a sign of survival and willingness to bring part of our sea and our land to other seas and other lands. Our Private Reserve is not our only star product, the 15 and 25 year-old brandies are equally excellent.
Our manufacturing process is completely artisanal. We preserve all our barrels, each year only those that have reached the end of their cycle are renewed. We know that our quality relies on the silence, microclimate and length of time spent in our underground cellars, protected by a 180cm-thick wall, sealed away from outside smells and noises. Our brandy, pure in spirit, stirs in its half-lit stone tomb and when the time is right, it gladly resurrects.
