Reserva del Mamut
In 1985, coinciding with the hiring of Matías Llobet, our Master Distiller, a small reserve selected from among the company's best brandies is set aside - only three Limousin oak barrels, kept in the ageing cellar known as "El Mamut" (The Mammoth), due to its age and size. The result: the most exclusive brandy, Reserva del Mamut. An exceptional and extremely limited brandy, a collection of only 999 bottles.
