History

Osborne's Brandy de Jerez is as central to the bodega's identity as its sherries. The BC 200 designation refers to a specific long-aged solera. Brandy de Jerez undergoes solera ageing in the same American oak butts previously used for sherry, absorbing the oxidative complexity of the sherry wood.

1. 1772 — Osborne brandy distillation begun alongside sherry production
2. 1900 — BC200 solera established for long-aged Brandy de Jerez
