Hailing from the historic cellars of Osborne in El Puerto de Santa María, Andalucia, the 103 Etiqueta Blanca is a legendary Spanish spirit steeped in maritime lore. Named in honor of the 103 days that explorer Juan Sebastián Elcano spent navigating the Pacific Ocean during the first circumnavigation of the globe, this spirit embodies the adventurous soul of Spain. Crafted from carefully selected distillates, it is aged using the traditional Solera and Criaderas system in American oak casks previously seasoned with Sherry. This patient aging process imparts a beautiful pale gold color and a smooth, harmonious character filled with subtle aromas of oak, vanilla, and roasted nuts, reflecting over two centuries of Osborne family craftsmanship.
