The origin of the brand Constantino dates back to 1877 and has at its origin a company founded by Constantino de Almeida, dedicated to the export of Port wine.

The purity and genuineness of brandy Constantino, which has been preserved for 6 months in the highest quality of wood, are the main characteristics of its excellence.

Reviews:
"Color: Medium brown with orange highlights. Slightly cloudy.
Nose: Caramel, tasted almond, and soft blood orange. Possibly some resin?
Palate: Vanilla, brown sugar, toffee, almond liqueur. Also some apples and cinnamon, but faint. Very faintly gritty texture that seems to go with the brown sugar flavor.
Finish: Starts dry but then quickly gets very rich. Apples and cinnamon much stronger. Very long and delicious. Lingers forever.

Score: 97 points. Absolutely magnificent." For The Love of Port. Tasted 2010.
