The Winery
Williams & Humbert
Founded in 1877 by Sir. Alexander Williams, a great connoisseur and admirer of sherry products, and Arthur Humbert, a specialist in international relations.
Since then, some of the house wines and brandies have been kept in oak casks of the highest quality (soleras). These form the basis for the current development and ageing of each of the wines and brandies of Bodegas Williams & Humbert.
Tasting notes
Look
Mahogany intense bright
Smell
Intense notes fig confit and sultanas in turns in fine roasted and nuts
Taste
The attack is sweet and good structure. Despite its sugar mouth is balanced, not heavy. His 20 years minimum aging give it complexity, and elegant notes of hazelnut and Pekan perfectly intertwined with candied fruit and wood.
