Fundador

Fundador Solera offers a smooth, fruity profile with prominent notes of fruitcake, dried apricot, vanilla, and toasted oak. The nose shows apricot and gentle spice with a subtle richness, while the palate delivers sweet fruit flavours balanced by oak influence. The finish is medium length with lingering apricot and warm spice that fades gently.

Fundador is produced in Jerez, Spain, the historic home of Brandy de Jerez. It's distilled from Airen and Palomino grapes and matured using the traditional solera and criadera aging systems in sherry-soaked casks. This method, borrowed from sherry production, blends brandies of different ages to create consistency and complexity while imparting distinctive sherry-influenced character.

Fundador works beautifully in classic brandy cocktails like the Sidecar, Brandy Alexander, or French Connection. Its 28% ABV makes it particularly well-suited for Spanish-style serves mixed with cola and a squeeze of lemon. You can also use it in place of cognac in most cocktail recipes for a Spanish twist with slightly lighter body.

Serve Fundador neat in a brandy snifter or tulip glass to appreciate its full aromatic profile and smooth texture. For a refreshing alternative, pour it over ice which opens up the fruit notes and makes it particularly enjoyable in warmer weather. The lower alcohol content at 28% ABV means it's also excellent for mixing without overwhelming other ingredients.

Fundador makes an excellent gift for anyone curious about Spanish spirits or traditional European brandy craftsmanship. As the founding brand of Brandy de Jerez with heritage dating back centuries, it carries genuine prestige while remaining approachable. The lighter 28% ABV profile is particularly welcoming for recipients who may be new to brandy or prefer less intense spirits.
