Brandy

Brandy is a distilled spirit made from fermented fruit juice, typically grapes, though other fruits like apples or pears can also be used. Known for its warming qualities and smooth, often fruity flavor, brandy is a popular choice as an after-dinner drink or to mix in classic cocktails. Whether you prefer sipping brandy neat or experimenting with creative cocktails, there are many varieties to suit your taste, such as Richelieu brandy or Viceroy brandy

How is brandy made?

Brandy is made through the process of distillation, where fermented fruit juice is heated, and the alcohol is separated from the liquid. The resulting spirit is then aged in wooden casks, which can impart additional flavors like vanilla or oak. The aging process can vary, with some brandies aged for several years, enhancing their complexity and smoothness.

What is potstill brandy?

Potstill brandy is a high-quality type of brandy that is produced using a traditional copper pot still, a method known for retaining more of the flavor and character of the base ingredients. The process involves heating the fermented fruit juice, usually grape wine, in a copper still, which concentrates the alcohol and flavors.
