Meet The Brandy Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and spirit making approach.

Carlos I

Carlos I is a renowned Brandy de Jerez produced in Spain and named in honour of Charles I of Spain. First created in the late 19th century, it is now part of the González Byass family of wines and spirits, crafted in Jerez de la Frontera using traditional solera ageing methods.

The brandy is aged in American oak casks that have previously held Sherry, which imparts richness, depth and complexity to the spirit. Known for its smooth texture and elegant character, Carlos I is one of Spain’s most iconic brandies, combining heritage craftsmanship with refined blending techniques.
