Ximénez-Spínola Tres Mil Botellas - Spanish for "three thousand bottles" - is an extremely limited brandy, where the name itself tells of the production's rarity.
Expert's Description
Ximénez-Spínola Tres Mil Botellas is a Spanish Brandy with an alcohol content of 40%, distilled by the Ximénez-Spínola bodega in Jerez. The name refers directly to the originally planned production of just 3,000 bottles, making this brandy one of the house's most exclusive spirit releases. The bodega, founded in 1729, is primarily known for its Pedro Ximénez fortified wines, but applies the same craftsmanship and patience to its brandy production.

Serving & Food Pairing
Serve at room temperature in a cognac glass. Pairs well with dark chocolate, cigars or as a digestif on its own after a festive dinner.
