Coñac Decano is a century-old brand of Grupo Luis Caballero, a Jerez company founded in 1830 and based in El Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz). The brand was launched in the early 20th century, coinciding with the consolidation of Bodegas Caballero within the Jerez tradition of spirits, alongside other labels of the group such as Ponche Caballero. From the 1950s to the 1970s it had a wide advertising presence in Spain: press advertisements, radio spots with their own slogans and collectable materials (bottles with tax seals, matchboxes, prints). It is made by traditional distillation of white wines from the Airén grape and aged in American oak barrels that previously held sherry wines; it is currently sold at 30° and 70 cl under Grupo Caballero.
