The firm has reportedly recorded increased sales by 10% to 33 million 9l cases in 2014.

Emperador Distillers executive Glenn Manlapaz said: “All it takes is one look, one sip to fully appreciate Emperador Brandy as a world-class product, that just happens to be conveniently affordable."

The firm's Emperador Light and Emperador Brandy brands have an amber colour, and are reported to have a fruity aroma of grapes and peach finishing, with wood and almond notes.
