c. 1872–1972 under the name “Coñac Peinado”; bodega active since 1820, continues today as Brandy Peinado

Bodegas Peinado was founded in Tomelloso (Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha) in 1820 by Juan Antonio Peinado, and is one of the oldest distilleries in La Mancha. When phylloxera devastated French vineyards from 1868 onwards, the bodega supplied spirits to Cognac producers and in 1872 obtained the right to use the name “Coñac” on its labels, a privilege it kept for a century. Its century-old soleras and the purity of its La Mancha spirits gave it a prominent presence in the Spanish market and exports to Europe, Asia and Latin America. In 1972 European protected designation of origin rules reserved the term “Cognac” exclusively for French production, so the brand had to be renamed Brandy Peinado, under which it is still sold today.
