Mosca Aguardente Jose Maria da Fonseca
€ 31.00 / 70 cl
An amber colored delicious young brandy with an aroma of nutmeg and caramel ending in a wonderfully long finish.
The brandy Mosca was created in 1937 as Brandy Moscatel Bagaceira, and existed until the mid-1980s. It was one of the most famous and prestigious brandies throughout its history. Matured in old wooden barrels used in the aging of Moscatel, the relaunch of this brandy aims to restore and preserve an ancient tradition of José Maria da Fonseca in specialty brandies.
