BRANDY A distilled wine aged in wood barrels.

Usually a dry acidic wine is used as the base. In the case of Calvados this is made using apples and sometimes pears. There are some types of Brandy that are named after the region they were made

in such as Armagnac and Cognac. (All of our Brandy is served as 50ml pour in a heated balloon glass with the exception of Pisco)
