Tasting Panel
This is an exquisite plum brandy. The plum blossom’s perfume wafts out of the glass. The floral tones on the palate coincide with a bounty of blue fruit. The purple plum notes taste fresh, marked with vanilla and a soft sprinkle of white pepper.
Taking its name from the Dutch term, brandewijn, for burnt or cooked wine, in the broadest sense of the term, Brandy is any liquor made from the distillation of fruit wine. Though any kind of fruit may be used, wine grapes are the most common. Clear Brandy, commonly referred to as Eau de Vie, is unaged and bottled directly after distillation. Finer grape-based Brandies are often aged in oak barrels for anywhere from two years (VS) to six years (XO) or longer, gradually gaining color and complexity as they interact with the wood.
