Wanted: Medronho from Portugal or Spain

[shaneatwell]

To the Portuguese and Spanish members, Would anyone be willing to send (or arrange to be sent) some Aguardente de Medronhos, the brandy made from Arbutus Unedo fruit?  I'd of course pay for the bottle(s), shipping and your trouble.

Spaniard here. I know it is too late to answer, but it is the first time I see that kind of drink. Nobody seems to know it here, sorry!

Wow. That's an old post. I don't have a bottle but I've had a few drinks here since I posted this:

Sure, I didn't mean to say it doesn't exist, just that nobody knows it in my area. Seems to be kind of typical in Madrid, Arbutus Unedo appears in its coat of arms.
Is it nice?

The booze was fine. Didn't really taste distinct at all to me.
