Brandy Luis XV was a Spanish brandy produced by Destilerías La Pajarita, S.L., based in Madrid. The brand is documented through mid-20th-century collectables: sealed bottles bearing the 80-céntimo tax stamp, ceramic advertising cups and ashtrays (with the pottery mark Rouvre), and original watercolour and pencil posters made by the Barcelona printer Relieves Basa y Pagés, active since 1887. Destilerías La Pajarita also made syrups and other liqueurs under the same brand name. The brandy was sold in 70 cl bottles at 40° alcohol.
