Tasting notes

Mixing spirits from 5-10 years old this VS brandy is matured in oak casks for at least four years. Hand-crafted, this traditional brandy is honey-colored with elegant vanilla, chocolate, and spicy notes. Very special and should be savored neat or on the rocks. This is a solid brandy.

Description

In France brandy is called eau-de-vie, a designation that includes any fermented juice that has been distilled. Most frequently this will be grape juice, but eau-de-vie can be made from apple juice, pear juice, and other fruit juices. The French also consider alcohols such as vodka (which is made from fermented potatoes) and grain alcohols to be eaux-de-vie. All types of brandy undergo the process of distillation which involves heating a fermented liquid, then collecting and recondensing the vapor that is released. Because alcohol boils at a temperature lower than water, the condensed liquid has a higher alcohol content than that from which it came.
