Fundador

Fundador is not just another Spanish spirit - it is widely regarded as the world’s first commercial brandy from Jerez, a title that places it at the very foundation of Spain’s brandy tradition. Produced in the historic cellars of Bodegas Fundador in Jerez de la Frontera, the brand reflects more than a century of Andalusian craftsmanship, sherry culture, and meticulous aging.

Fundador was first released in 1874, at a time when Jerez was already famous for exporting sherry wines across Europe and the Americas. Local producers discovered that distilling wine and aging the spirit in used sherry casks created a smoother, more aromatic brandy than many existing styles. This innovation transformed Jerez into the spiritual home of Spanish brandy, and Fundador became the pioneering label that defined the category.

For drinkers seeking a spirit that combines history, smoothness, and regional identity, Fundador remains one of the most significant and accessible names in the world of brandy.
