Torres 15 Year Old Imperial Brandy
Torres 15 Year Old Imperial Brandy is Spain's benchmark aged brandy — 750mL at 40% ABV, aged a minimum of 15 years in American oak barrels under the traditional solera system. Made from Catalan white varieties (Xarel-lo, Parellada, Macabeo) from the Penedes, it's a tribute to Miquel Torres Carbo, who rebuilt the winery after the Spanish Civil War: mahogany, elegant and endlessly sippable.

Fifteen Years in the Solera
The solera system is the slow architecture of great Spanish brandy: barrels stacked in tiers, younger eaux-de-vie feeding older ones, so every bottle carries the average age of the whole system and none of the vintage-to-vintage wobble. Torres 15 spends a minimum of 15 years in virgin American oak soleras, and the result is why the Torres name has meant brandy since Juan Torres Casals first distilled Penedes white wines in 1928 — refined, modern and sophisticated, with citrus brightness running under the caramel and nuts. It won Best Brandy Solera at the 2017 World Brandy Awards. Browse Torres, explore the brandy collection, or compare with the store's cognac shelf.
Tasting Notes
Mahogany with golden highlights. Aroma: vanilla, caramel, dates and roasted hazelnuts with a subtle hint of citrus and lightly toasted oak. Taste: smooth and intense — caramel, nuts and almonds underpinned by citrus freshness. Finish: elegant and lingering, with toffee and warm wood.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks to savor the full 15-year character. Pairs with dark chocolate desserts, roasted nuts, or a fine cigar — and it arrives in a gift box, ready for giving.
