BRANDY & COGNAC

All the brandies have a smoothness and character of its own, often with an uncanny fresh grape sweetness. Only produced in a small region of France, Cognac is made from wine that is fermented from whole grapes skins, seeds and all, then double distilled in pot stills. It is aged in new oak casks for one year and then is transferred to used oak casks for more aging to prevent the Cognac from taking on too much tannin from the virgin oak (tannin imparts that dry, pucker feeling in your mouth)
