I.- MEMBERSHIP.One can become a member of the Club Heritage by simply ACQUIRING (by purchase or gift) one numbered bottle from the annual bottling of the oldest reserve “Prestige PUNTO AZUL” brandy which, for its origin and its highest distinction, we have named the “Heritâge” series. Thus, its price is in accordance with its extraordinary and excellent quality, given its age. It is presented in exclusive 70 cl volume bottles (numbered from 1 to 325), made in Austria, to our own company design and registered with our company trademark. The annual bottling, in November, is taken from casks which have been unopened since 1980, and from the oldest stocks of “Prestige PUNTO AZUL” brandy reserve. Each bottling is immediately followed by replacement of brandy from earlier stocks. II.- Proof of club membership.The membership of the club is proven upon the presentation of the “PUNTO AZUL CLUB Heritâge” CARD/GOLD. Each card is stamped with a membership number corresponding to the number on the bottle acquired. These numbers, along with the personal data of those members whose application for membership is successful, are stored confidentially, under the Data Protection Act, in the Club records. These records are kept in the winery by Don Enrique Hepburn Alejandre. The membership number is assigned to the member which he/she belongs to the club and will appear on the bottles and other orders which are made.

Tradicionalmente los aguardientes destilados en Sanlúcar de Barrameda(Cádiz-Andalucía,Reino de España) se envejecían en botas de roble,bien del país,o importados de América(Canadá,Costa Rica).- La Casa Pedro Romero,hacia 1945,uno de los mayores exportadores de brandies españoles a Cuba,Puerto Rico y Venezuela,los ensoleró siempre en roble de Costa Rica.- La Clasificación maderera de calidades se distinguía con un punto,blanco,rojo o azul,siendo este último,el indicativo del mejor roble.-Pareció adecuado registrar esa denominación y por eso, en el mejor roble, se envejece el mejor brandy español: "PUNTO AZUL"
