Since the late 19th century (soleras documented since 1892); trade mark active today
The Casajuana family began distilling in Tomelloso in the late 19th century, when the town was one of the world's great centres for the production of spirits and holandas for brandy. The brand's original soleras date from 1892, and the 550-litre American oak butts used are the same ones the family used at the outset. The brand was historically sold as “coñac español” (“Spanish cognac”) —the usual term in Spain until 1972— and is today produced by Bodegas Centro Españolas (founded in 1991 in Tomelloso), which keeps it as a limited, numbered edition under the name Brandy Casajuana, with 25- and 100-year solera-aged expressions.
