Description

Brandy must be aged for 2 years in oak or longer. The aging of brandy is a delicate and sensitive processa process with no short-cuts. 45% ABV, 90 ProofAccelerated aging techniques, such as small barrels, heavy char barrels or high heat in a shipping container are not effective for brandy maturation. The distillate is too delicate and lacks the robustness of grain-based distillate to stand up to the intensity of that process. You stroke brandy into shape.
