A Spanish Brandy Elevated for the Filipino Taste
Torres’ initial product lineup for the Philippines is bannered by Torres 5 Light. Crafted from quality grapes and aged using the Solera method in oak barrels, this brandy has a lighter, more approachable profile that feels right at home in local drinking moments while at the same time offering a refined, premium feel.
Best enjoyed over ice, it has a clear-medium-gold appearance with delicate aromas of grape, dried fruits, and vanilla, and a smooth, subtly sweet taste featuring notes of prune, grape, and vanilla, Bottled at 25% ABV, Torres 5 Light is a masterful balance of tradition, craftsmanship, and approachable enjoyment.
Torres 5 Light will be distributed nationwide along with Torres’ other premium products that cater to different types of drinkers – from the young and adventurous to the refined and sophisticated.
A Brand Steeped in Tradition and History
The Torres family has been cultivating vineyards in Penedès, Spain since the 16th century. In 1870, Jaime Torres Vendrell founded Casa Torres, a company dedicated to wine. Its brandy-making business started in 1928 when Juan Torres Casals started using oak barrels to age brandy made from the best white wines from Penedès.
Torres 5 Light will be available at leading supermarkets and groceries nationwide. Other Torres products will also be available in the first quarter of the year.
