The Osborne bull that stands along Spain's roads is inseparable from Veterano's character: a classic, accessible spirit without pretensions to complexity that has been part of Spanish bars for generations. Aged in American oak casks in Jerez, the result is a 30% ABV spirit in a 1-litre bottle with notable smoothness and an approachable character that responds well to different styles of service.

This is the simplest bottle of Spanish brandy to keep at home: it works with cola for a long, comfortable mixed drink, over ice in a glass, or with coffee for a gently flavoured Carajillo. The litre means you will not run out.
