Brandy
Brandy is a type of distilled spirit made by distilling wine or fermented fruit juice. The final product is typically a clear or amber-colored liquid with a distinct flavor and aroma. The alcohol content of brandy can range from 35% to 60%, depending on the specific variety and production process.
Brandy is often aged in wooden barrels, which can give it additional flavors and colors. The aging process can also mellow the taste of the brandy and give it a smoother finish. Some of the most well-known types of brandy include cognac, Armagnac, and calvados.
Brandy is typically consumed as a digestif, served neat or on the rocks. It can also be used in cocktails or as a cooking ingredient in dishes such as flambéed desserts or sauces. Brandy has a long history dating back to the Middle Ages and is considered a refined and sophisticated beverage enjoyed by many around the world.
