About Torres Brandy              
The Torres winery was founded in 1870, but it was not until 1928 that Juan Torres Casals first began to distill and age brandy at the family winery. The distillery is family owned and run to this day by the 5th generation of the Torres family. All Torres brandies and liqueurs are handcrafted by Master Distillers in this same family winery in Penedès. They are unique in the world of brandy because of the grape varietals and distillation method used.  For more information, visit https://www.torresbrandy.com/en or on social @torresbrandyofficial
