Distilled in copper pot stills and aged in French Limousin oak, the Mascar V.O. Fine Marivaux makes choices that set it apart from most Spanish brandies in its price range: Limousin oak brings finer tannins and a more floral aroma than American oak, while copper distillation contributes to the spirit's elegance. At 40% ABV in a 700ml bottle, made in Spain, the result is an author's brandy with a perceptible sophistication.

This is a spirit for serving neat in a wide glass and without rushing. Warm it briefly in your hands if you want the Limousin aromas to open fully, or let it breathe for a few minutes in the glass before lifting it to your lips.
