"Tío Pepe" in Spanish means "Uncle Pepe," referring to Don José Ángel de la Peña, the uncle of the founder Manuel María González. Uncle Pepe, a master taster of Sherry, assisted his nephew Manuel María by selecting particularly high-quality barrels of dry Sherry from among the many wines of the González family. It is said that Manuel María would pre-label barrels likely to pique his uncle's interest with "Tío Pepe (Uncle José)" inscribed on them, leading all employees of the González company to refer to this dry Sherry as "Tío Pepe." This carefully selected dry Sherry was then marketed under the brand name "Tío Pepe," becoming a top brand of Sherry beloved worldwide.

From TIO PEPE -KIRIN-

When I was a student, a Spaniard from Barcelona introduced me to this liquor. I didn't get into it much at the time, but after becoming a working adult, I started drinking it occasionally. The dry aroma is pleasant, and it's not very expensive. While I don't feel the same impression from the current TIO PEPE as I did when I drank TIO PEPE from the 70s, I still think the current TIO PEPE is quite delicious. From my experience, many bar and restaurants in Japan carry 'TIO PEPE', so if you're interested, you should definitely try it. Sweet sherry is good, but dry sherry is also nice.

Yes, this dryness and lightness... I like it
