                    Mascaro tradition has a starting  poit in 1946 when Narciso Mascaro -born into the third generation of a family  of distillers and negociants- established Mascaro to produce its own cavas,  brandies and liqueurS. 
                In bygone times, the property  `Mas Miquel` formed part of the Cistercian Monastery of Sante Creus, and from  there comes the ascetic respect for the inherent character of the grapes and  the concern, almost religious, for preserving their essence and freshness  throughout the making and ageing process. 
                The Mascaro brandies are unique,  personal and varied, "designer brandies" with a personality that ties  in with our family tradition. 
                  They are all made according the  traditional "double distillation" method used for Penedes wines, the  "Hollandas", or top-quality brandies, are aged slowly until their  alcoholic content exceeds 40 alc vol to ensure they can be appreciated in full. 
                This brandy was aged in French  oak for a minimum of 3 years. 
                  We recommend drinking it with only one ice cube.
