I. Let's start with: What Makes a Brandy Special?
The art of brandy distillation is nothing short of a craft. Made by distilling wine or other fruit juices, brandy’s flavor is influenced by factors such as aging, grape variety, and region. But what truly sets special brandy apart? It’s all in the layers of flavor that come with time—notes of oak, caramel, dried fruit, and sometimes even floral hints.
Brandy Styles That Define Quality
- Cognac: Often regarded as the crème de la crème of brandies, Cognac is a French brandy known for its rich, complex flavors.
- Armagnac: The lesser-known but equally captivating sibling of Cognac, with a bolder, fruitier profile.
- VS, VSOP, and XO: These labels refer to aging. VS (Very Special) is young and vibrant, VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) has more depth, and XO (Extra Old) is the most luxurious.
