Brandy

Brandy is spirit distilled from fermented fruit — most often grapes — and usually aged in oak. The category runs from France's benchmark Cognac and Armagnac to grape-based brandies worldwide and fruit brandies like Calvados, made from apples. Barrel aging gives most brandy its amber color and notes of dried fruit, caramel, and spice.

Our brandy selection includes:

  • Cognac — double-distilled, oak-aged grape brandy from France
  • Armagnac — richer, single-distilled French brandy
  • Calvados — apple brandy from Normandy
  • Other grape and fruit brandies — from around the world

For sipping neat or mixing into classic cocktails, our brandy selection covers France's benchmarks alongside fruit-based styles.
