Gran Duque de Alba

The Gran Duque de Alba brandy first appeared in 1945. This exceptional Spanish brandy from sunny Andalusia is so unique that it still proudly bears the right to use the name of Duke de Alba.

Documents owned by the Medinov family, the current owners of Bodegas Williams & Humbert , describe how their wine merchant in Madrid (also a good friend of the Seventh Duke of Alba at the time) asked Jacobo Fitz-James Stuart y Falcó before launching the exclusive brandy. he can baptize him with his name. When this aristocrat tasted it, he was pleasantly surprised. He suggested that it would be much more appropriate to use the name of his ancestor for such a noble product. And so the brandy was named after the great duke of Alba, Fernando Álvarez de Toledo y Pimentel, a noble member of the Alb family and an important historical figure.

The author of the bottle and cap of this brandy is the leading ceramic designer of the 20th century and the prestigious artist Antoni Cumella .
