Cardenal Mendoza Non Plus Ultra
Cardenal Mendoza Non Plus Ultra is a Solera Gran Reserva Brandy and is the Bodega’s flagship Brandy, aged for an average of 50 years.
Cardenal Mendoza Carta Real brandy, already 25 years old, is further aged in American Oak barrels previously seasoned with old Oloroso Sherry. Such a prolonged period of ageing allows many more nuances to be accumulated and results in a highly sophisticated and desirable brandy which is bottled in an elegant decanter.

Tasting Notes
Dry and delicate to the palate, its temperate, persistent and very soft taste with nuances of nutmeg and dried orange.

Color
deep old mahogany colour, bright and flecked with hints of copper.

Aroma
complex aromas deriving from the very oak of the barrels and the Oloroso Sherry they once contained with subtle notes of dried fruit and nuts, dried orange peel and warm spice

Palate
dry, very smooth and well-rounded with a depth of flavour

For a real flavor experience, Cardenal Mendoza paired with a good cigar is a match made in Heaven. The brandy is richly and intensely flavoured with notes of dried fruit, burnt caramel, oak and Pedro Ximénez.
