A slight liquorice note brings contrast without disturbing the spirit’s balance. The finish is smooth and softly warming, returning to pear, vanilla and restrained fruit sweetness.
Nismes-Delclou Armagnac 1996
French Brandy
Copper tones introduce a mature, inviting style. The nose is charming and measured, with worn leather and vanilla set against gentle cask aromas. The palate is smooth and rounded but carries a clear line of spice, supported by harmonious tannins and well-integrated oak. Its generous texture remains balanced and free of sharp acidity, allowing the vanilla, leather and warm spice to unfold gradually. The finish is structured and persistent, with polished wood and savoury maturity lingering. Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass.

Floral lift keeps the mature character from feeling heavy. The finish is deep and persistent, leaving citrus oil, polished oak and a final echo of dark fruit.
Torres 10 Imperial Reserve Brandy
Spanish Brandy
Dark topaz in colour, with golden highlights, this Spanish brandy opens with warm cinnamon and vanilla.

It is made by the traditional solera method and aged in American oak barrels, bringing the spice, vanilla and wood elements into one composed, generous style.
Christian Drouin Blanche de Normandie Apple Brandy
French Brandy
Fresh apple and pear aromas open with a clear orchard-fruit character. The palate is crisp and expressive, moving from ripe fruit toward apple peel, gentle spice and a lightly warming finish. Its clean, unaged style keeps the fruit vivid and direct rather than oak-driven. Serve lightly chilled as a digestif, or use it in cocktails where fresh apple flavour and aromatic lift are welcome.
Sharpe Distillery Pisqu 375 mL
Canadian Brandy
Honey and fresh grape give the palate a gently sweet opening, followed by earthy notes that recall a cool wine cellar and damp oak. The texture is creamy and substantial, with red pepper and warm spice building toward the finish. Fruit remains present beneath the savoury detail, keeping the spirit balanced and distinctive. Serve neat in a small glass, add a little water, or use in a Pisco Sour where its grape, earth and pepper can remain clear.
Luxardo Kirsch de Cuisine
Italian Brandy
Clear and dry, with an intense aroma of ripe sour cherry and a subtle almond-like edge from the fruit’s stones. The palate is focused and warming, carrying pure cherry character without the syrupy sweetness of a conventional liqueur. A clean, fragrant finish makes it useful beyond the glass. Sip after dinner, add a measured pour to fondue, or use it to deepen Black Forest cake, fruit desserts and cherry-led sauces.
D’Eaubonne VSOP Brandy 375 mL
Brandy
Golden-amber in the glass, with citrus and pineapple lifting a warm core of caramel and vanilla.

St-Rémy VSOP French Brandy 375 mL
French Brandy
Apricot, peach, gooseberry and wild strawberry lead, followed by delicate florals, vanilla and polished wood. The palate is balanced and harmonious, carrying the fruit into a smooth, lightly rounded texture before a generous vanilla finish. Its freshness keeps the oak measured rather than heavy.

Père Magloire X.O. Calvados Pays d’Auge 500 mL
French Brandy
Quince paste and candied orange open the nose, joined by cinnamon, black pepper and blond tobacco. The palate is rich but composed, layering caramelized apple and warm compote with candied apricot, cocoa and mature oak.

Serve neat in a small glass, or use in a Pisco Sour where its citrus, floral and rounded fruit character can stay distinct.
Stara Sokolova Old Falcon Apricot Brandy
Serbian Brandy
Ripe apricot leads a clear, fruit-driven nose, with blossom, gentle vanilla and warm spice adding depth. Heritage apricots from Western Serbia and Šumadija are fermented before distillation to preserve their aromatic character, then the spirit rests for a year in barrel. The palate is smooth and balanced, combining natural fruit sweetness with a firmer oak frame and a subtle almond-like warmth. Fresh apricot returns on the finish, joined by soft spice and a clean, lingering fruit note. Serve neat as a digestif at cool room temperature.
Tacama Mulita Acholado Pisco
Peruvian Brandy
Bright and clear, with lime, mandarin and orange giving the nose an immediate citrus lift. Jasmine adds a light floral accent while the Acholado blend brings a composed, aromatic shape rather than overt sweetness. The palate remains clean and lively, moving from fresh peel into subtle dried fruit and a restrained tobacco note. A dry, gently warming finish leaves citrus oil, florals and quiet savoury depth behind. Serve neat, in a Pisco Sour or in a tall citrus-led drink.
BarSol Pisco Mosto Verde Torontel
Peruvian Brandy
White and purple flowers lead an expressive nose, joined by citrus blossom and a gentle peppery herbal note.

Serve neat or use in a polished Pisco Sour or Chilcano.
Nismes Delclou VS Armagnac
French Brandy
A fresh, fruit-led nose opens this golden Armagnac, followed by a mellow palate and measured oak. Cask ageing rounds the spirit without obscuring its brighter character, keeping the texture supple and the finish clean. The historic house draws on wines from Bas-Armagnac and matures its eaux-de-vie in long-established cellars, giving this VS blend a classic, approachable shape. Serve neat, over ice or in a brandy-led cocktail.
Château de Laubade VSOP Bas-Armagnac
French Brandy

Serve neat after dinner, or use a modest pour to bring depth to a classic brandy cocktail.
Nismes-Delclou VSOP Armagnac
French Brandy

Maturation for at least eight years in oak—well beyond the minimum required for the designation—adds depth without making the spirit heavy. The finish returns to freshness, with fruit and soft wood spice lingering. Serve neat after dinner or alongside an almond tart.
Vignobles Fontan VSOP Bas-Armagnac
French Brandy
A peppery, gently aromatic nose leads into vanilla, cinnamon and warm spice. The palate is rounded and composed, with the oak bringing structure rather than overt sweetness.

Christian Drouin XO Calvados Pays d’Auge
French Brandy
Baked apple and warm spice open the nose, with flowers, almond and polished oak developing underneath.

A subtle rancio note adds savoury depth without obscuring the fruit. The finish is long, composed and warmly spiced, carrying apple, oak and toasted nuts. Serve neat after dinner at cool room temperature.
Nismes-Delclou Armagnac 1991
French Brandy
Floral aromatics open gradually, joined by sweet spice, caramel and a gentle nuttiness. The palate is velvety and composed, with mature fruit held in balance by polished oak and a savoury undertone.

Nismes-Delclou Hors d’Age Bas-Armagnac
French Brandy

Château de Martet Bas-Armagnac 1990
French Brandy
Deep in colour, with a rich, earthy nose that signals a mature and grounded style. The palate is round and full, bringing dried fig and vanilla together over a firm but polished cask structure.

A very long finish carries dried fruit, seasoned wood and lingering vanilla. Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass and allow it time to open.
Nismes-Delclou Armagnac 1990
French Brandy
Light gold in colour, with a restrained and relatively neutral nose that keeps the first impression measured. The palate is smooth and composed, yet carries more power than the delicate aroma suggests. A firm, enduring structure builds through the middle and gives the spirit a confident, persistent close. Its appeal lies in balance and length rather than overt sweetness or heavy oak. Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass and allow it a few minutes to settle and open.
Nismes-Delclou Armagnac 1973
French Brandy
A discreet, mature aroma leads into a soft and measured opening on the palate. The texture remains light and easy, with subtle prune emerging as the spirit develops. Balance is the defining feature: fruit and gentle oak sit in quiet proportion before increasingly nutty rancio notes shape the finish. Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass and allow it time to unfold.
Nismes-Delclou Armagnac 1978
French Brandy
Dried fruit, prune and fresh grape lead a direct, composed palate. Orange peel adds brightness before almond and a softer white-chocolate note emerge toward the finish.

Nismes-Delclou Armagnac 1970

Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass and give it time to unfold.
Vaudon Extra Cognac
French Brandy
Sweet spice and cinnamon lead the nose, joined by walnut and beeswax with a mature rancio character.
